The Green Oak Initiative

The Green Oak Initiative is a proposal by the University of Tennessee to develop contemporary green (un-dried) oak construction techniques for the US building market. This initiative will allow currently underutilized heart-centers of logs to be used as an extremely low energy, carbon friendly, beautiful, and high value wood product - as structural members in sustainable buildings.
