You just have to choose where your wood comes from. No waste there Alex, just renewable materials. Example : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme_for_the_Endorsement_of_Forest_Certification_schemes and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Stewardship_Council On cordwood masonry : although the thickness of the wall brings some insulation, some examples show a lot of mortar, which are going to be a big thermal bridge. Interesting design wise but not eco friendly I think. forest are ecologically managed now. You just have to choose where your wood comes from. No waste there Alex, just renewable materials.

If it was a stack of firewood-size sticks, maybe I'd agree, but I'd bet the pieces are all less than a half-inch thick. I kinda like the look. My basement family room is covered with 1" knotty pine carsiding that was installed in the '50's; I don't think anyone has ever considered something like that to be wasteful. If you do, you probably haven't thought much about what's involved in construction. I have to chime in with L; why is this any kind of waste of natural resources?

I stacked more than that a couple of weeks ago. I don't think it's really that attractive (that's why my woodpile is out behind the garage) and woodpiles are also spider central.

Should all art come from man-made prducts? Is there a place in your world for man glorify the wonder of god created beauty? Perhaps it is the hand-of-man that raises your bile? Were we not also created by God? Is not art that uses his other creations our greatest glorification of his will? Knee-jerk eco-reaction to anyone using natural products to create art.

It could be recycled wood for all we know. I don't see how it's any worse than wallpaper. That still comes from trees... but it's used a lot of resources to get from the "tree" stage to the "paste-backed paper" stage. Why is it a waste of natural resources?
