Alabama Sawyer, (or Alasaw.com), designs modern, environmentally sustainable products from local Birmingham, Alabama fallen trees. Since they began in 2014, they have diverted hundreds of urban logs from landfill by transforming them into beautifully designed furniture and home accessories.

Urban trees that, once fallen, are normally chipped up and sent to landfill, are instead gathered from municipalities, businesses and homeowners and then brought to the Alasaw workshop to be turned into expertly crafted furniture, trays, composters, cutting boards and home décor accessories. Where some see trash or waste, founders Cliff  and Leigh Spencer see opportunities and resources. They also provide jobs and contribute to keeping local Birmingham neighborhoods tidier by repurposing waste material for a second life.
