Here at Central City Millworks we are constantly finding new ways to use old things.  Some of our machines are 60 years old; we often refurbish existing doors and windows; and we use a large amount of reclaimed wood to build our products. 

We are participating in an upcoming event hosted by the New Orleans Green Project where we will showcase our commitment to recycling by using reclaimed wood to produce our entries.  All of the submissions for this event are required to be at least partly recycled or reclaimed and the objective is to make freestanding art, sculpture or furniture. 

We are excited about this opportunity because people do not often think “Green” when they think about mill shops.  But at Central City Millworks we are deeply commited to recycling, refurbishing and reusing whenever we can.  All of the flooring we sell is reclaimed Heart Pine.  And we donate all the sawdust we produce to The Rescue Ranch – a nonprofit horse rescue group.

We are submitting two items to the event, a room divider and a table.  Check back then to see pictures of the completed items.  All entries will be on display at Canal Place from Feb 10th through March 14th.
