Most toy blocks are made from freshly cut down trees on the other side of the ocean. Then there're shipped all the way here. Meanwhile, we throw away an endless stream of local wood scraps. These blocks are made of scraps from local construction sites. These scraps would be in the landfill if we didn't save them. Some are new lumber and some are old growth that has been part of a home for over 100 years. Notice the difference in the color and amount of growth rings. Modern lumber from a "managed forest" is typically 10-15 years old when cut down. You can see over 100 growth rings in some of these blocks. These blocks come in a durable recycled pail for storage.
