That it the best kind of recycling there is... making a new product out of old. Plus, it gives new life to those fine old trees. kjb434, I agree completely.

I think if someone drives around with an industrial wood chipper they could make some money by taking the tree debris away from the front of lawns faster than the FEMA contractor. You could charge a price if the chipped wood is kept by the homeowner and a higher price if you have to haul it away. The you could sell the wood chips as mulch. The City of Houston would even take the stuff. But it is nice to see a woodworker putting is craft to good use. Proves that there will always be someone who can make lemonade out of lemons.
