The “endless wood scrap conundrum” … Do you save that piece of drop or consider throwing it away as the cost of doing business? Saving every promising piece of scrap will shortly find you out of room! Occasionally you will find a school or hobby/craft-person happy to take a handful pieces, but they hardly make a dent in the growing problem! Have you noticed that CNC scrap is awkward? Nested parts leave you with odd shapes and often without straight lines or square corners!
The last few years I’ve been saving Pecan drops from tables, chairs, mantles and other miscellaneous projects. I saved them if I could cut 2”, 3” or 4” strips from them. I finally found the time to carry out my plan!
My office floor now reflects my love for Texas Pecan wood! It was ridiculously time consuming and hard work… but worth it!
What do you do with your scrap?
