Okay we all have to admit it...sure we whittle down a board time and time again, moving it from the stock pile to the scrap pile, then back to the scrap pile again....But at some point scrap wood...well becomes scrap wood. It just has no more practical use left in it. So my question is simple, what do you do with this scrap wood?
Since I started this post, I guess I'll go first.
As a model-maker, the exotic wood gets whittled down to the smallest of pieces and pretty much goes out of my shop as sawdust. The domestic wood I have a surprising amount of. The reason is because I harvest my own wood and tend to have a lot of wany edges, knots and other unusable lumber left over. In any case most of my scrap wood gets burned. My planer chips however and sawdust gets placed around the plants and shrubs around my house.
Now its your turn. Where is the final resting place of your scrap wood?
