scrollerpete Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Made lot's of boxes recently and I had all these inserts laying around, I decided to use it for what I call "Redneck Coasters". I have 2 coats of Tung oil for the finish and I glued some cork under in order to protect the furniture. Better than the wood pile. Also I just finish cutting the maple leaf trivet posted on the site, excellent pattern and easy to cut. bobscroll, Fab4 and amazingkevin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I would have never thought of making something from the 'left overs' I get. I just chuck them in my wood burning stove to keep the shop warm. May have to give that some more thought. Do I use my, otherwise scrap to make other new projects or do I continue to burn them and scroll in the warmth of my shop ? Great Ideas Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I love it when nothing is wasted. They look great and nice shapes too. You did a fantastic job on the trivet. Well done Pete. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollerpete Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I might be thick but where are you get these parts from what's in the bottom of the boxes you make any picutres or are you talking about the scrolled baskets?? The boxes patterns are from Sheila Landry, the walls of the boxes might be 3 or 4 rings so that's where these come from.

penquin Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Pete, what a great idea. I have used some for firewood because I could not think of anything to do with them. Coasters, WOW I see the light. Thanks. jim penquin Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Pete, that's a great repurposing of scraps, it's far better than burning them. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice stuff. Great use of the scraps. I really hate burning scraps of good wood. You could easily tell that if you saw my shop. I have lots of little scraps. Keep thinking they will come in handy if I ever get brave enough to do some intarsia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
