The Word “Scrap” Doesn’t Exist

scrap wood

“There is no scrap wood. Just pieces not used yet.” I have that phrase on a tshirt and it describes our process in the wood shop perfectly. This image doesn’t show scale as well as I would have liked but the pieces here are all relatively small. Each is about 1 foot long and somewhere in the area of a quarter inch thick. They are the cutoffs from other projects that we toss in a box. Well it turns out if you line them all up it looks like a pretty interesting cutting board. This has inspired us to look more closely at our scrap boxes. Expect to see some interesting patterns and designs throughout 2018!
