They go into my woodstove during winter.

Wooden toys keep my scrap bin under control. These are donated to inner city kids at Christmas & best of all doesn’t clutter up the house with woodworking projects.

I use the scraps for ear rings, necklaces, key chains etc.

Drawer pulls, shims, scroll saw stock–all great ideas! Now if we could all just figure out the best way to store all of our precious scraps!

Thanks for sharing the ideas, everyone.

For scrollsawers, there is no such thing as scrap! it’s all project wood, because you can take a 1/2″ by 1/2″ x 1/2″ cube and make something of it!

I love to laminate my scrap wood so that I can use it for other scroll saw projects. It gives things a unique look. I’ll also shrink some patterns to a smaller size and use the scrap wood to make minatures.

My 6 year old daughter likes to use the scraps for her own projects. Of course, it normally only entails painting and nailing a few things together, but she has a blast and I figure it is building a foundation. When I have better wood, though, I look at smaller projects, or uses to add a slight flair to something larger, such as drawer pulls.

Then again, there is the 1x5x10 walnut feather board I found in a $0.50/pound cull bin…
