January 27, 20224 yr Popular Post I toss all left over exotic wood scraps in a box. Even the tiny ones. After a while I see what I can make by gluing then & turning them. Sometimes I also fit flat pieces together like the butterfly, which is about 3” high
January 27, 20224 yr Popular Post Beautiful work, I use same method and come up with some exotic looking stuff.
January 27, 20224 yr Popular Post Amazing things can come from scraps just takes a little time, imagination and work. Now I am wondering which of those I am missing. Love the butterfly especially.

January 27, 20224 yr Popular Post +1 to all the above. The ornament is cool...the butterfly is spectacular!! You are a wood artist Ron. Love it when you share your creativity.
January 30, 20224 yr Popular Post I cut all our scraps to 2" long then edge glue those blocks into strips, after that the strips get flattend and glued into an end-grain cutting board. I usually get 6-8 boards this way.
