Recycled Birch Tree Wood

Birch wood is fine-grained and pale in colour, often with an attractive satin-like sheen. Ripple figuring may occur, increasing the value of the timber for veneer and furniture-making. The highly decorative Masur (or Karelian) birch, from Betula verrucosa var. carelica, has ripple textures combined with attractive dark streaks and lines. Birch wood is suitable for veneer, and birch plywood is among the strongest and most dimensionally stable plywoods, although it is unsuitable for exterior use.

Plastic Bottles Yacht Sailed from San Francisco to Sydney

The Plastiki yacht, a 60-foot catamaran made mostly from recycled plastic, sail it from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia. The Plastiki is made from 12,500 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles and sailed through the Heads, docking at Sydney's Darling Harbour where some curious Sydney- siders gathered to watch its arrival. The captain of the voyage, David de Rothschild, an heir to a banking dynasty, has sailed about 8,000 nautical miles from San Francisco to Sydney to make a point about the way plastic is used.
