Why the "Houtbank"?
Na anderhalf jaar hard werken hebben we een werkplaats opgezet, leuke workshops gegeven en mooie producten gemaakt. Dit alles met eigen geld en vrijwilligers. Om een sprong te maken, op grotere schaal te produceren en onze mensen te kunnen betalen hebben we uw steun nodig! Doneer en draag bij aan een toekomst voor meer circulair hout gebruik!

What we already do?
Process and inspire
Courses in which people can make something themselves with used wood.
We start this to inspire and create awareness.
Processing wood into furniture or building kits that are sold.
You are more proud of what you make yourself.
Learning together is even more fun!
Collect and process
Collecting residual wood from construction and demolition companies in the region.
(but also other possible suppliers)
These can be beams, planks and slabs, but also old doors or furniture
that may be taken apart.
Collect the wood in a store after minimal processing.
Sales
Directly to private individuals via a physical or online store.
