New Art at the Gallery – Recycled Pallet Wood by Jeff Mincenberg!

Posted on 26 June 2012 (0)

As you all know, a big part of our Gallery mission is to host artists who follow our reuse-recycle philosophy, and we’ve found a gem in Jeff Mincenberg of “Re-Turned”, from Freedom, PA.  In his quest to perfect his wood-turning skills, Jeff discovered  some boxing and pallet-making companies with scrap blocks of oak, cherry, poplar and pine wood that they were selling for firewood.  In true artist fashion, he revealed beautiful treasurers in these pieces of wood and now has them on display in the Bottlebrush.  In addition to these intricate, lovely birdbaths, we also have wooden bells and turned bowls.  Stop by and take a look at how Jeff celebrates recycling through his art.
