End Users - Buy Finished Wood Products Government and corporate procurement professionals and individual consumers are end users of a wide range of wood products from furniture to firewood, mulch to bio-energy. As the end of the wood use chain, they can help drive market demand by asking for and buying community wood products. Helping generate this demand, the Wood Utilization Team worked with the Illinois Department of Agriculture to commission a podium and gift pens made from Emerald Ash Board. To spread the word about the potential for community wood use, the Wood Utilization Team has generated 30 prominent Chicago media placements and two national television network news stories. Two stories, in particular, sparked the public's imagination about the potential of community wood use: the creation of furniture from Emerald Ash Board featured in Rising From Ashes: Furniture From Lost Trees, a traveling juried furniture exhibition, and the manufacture, from diseased ash trees, of Wilmette Wonder Boy baseball bats for Little League players as featured on the Today Show. If end users ask for urban and community wood, architects will specify it and stores will stock it, woodworkers will use it, sawyers will mill it, and arborists will cut it. If you're interested in supporting the reclamation of community wood, click on the woodworker link to find wood products manufacturers or the sawyer link to find custom sawyers that work with community wood.
