2 FOR THE PRICE OF 1 OR WASTE NOT WANT NOT

[kywoodmaster]

My Son and family were in from Arizona 2 weeks ago for Holiday. 

My Grandson wanted to go to the shop with PAP and make an ornament for his tree.  Al tho I did most of the steering we did get a star ornament by Dirks Boelman made.  Sorry I let it get away without a picture. 

Any how Brady picked up some of the scrap from the compound Ornaments and wanted them.  I am like OK let me straighten them up for you.  I sawed them flat and looked at them and realized that they really didn't look bad.  My son even ask why I was throwing them away.

So I went back thru some of the scrap and here are some of the results.  I get a 3d ornament and also 1 to 4 2d ornaments from the same wood. In the pics you can see the 3d and also the 2ds that were made from the scrap.

Your thoughts or critics appreciated.

Nice job. A testament to the truth of the saying that "there's no such thing as scrap wood".

I must say that was a "Great Save." My wife can't understand why I save all of my scrap... even 1/4 X 1/4 twigs I saw off the end of pieces. I can use them to stir epoxy. Want not, waste not! Great job on your ornaments.

I do that all the time.  Used the reindeer "flats" to make earrings!

Great idea + a great save.

That is a great Idea. I may have to steal that considering I have a herd of Granddaughters.

Yep, I do the same

Great save!  I have a love/hate relationship with scrap.  I love using it for projects.  I hate that as soon as I decide to toss some of it out I realize I could have used some ot what I tossed.    I'm sure I am alone in this.........

I have never thought to save any of the  parts from combine cuts but I do find them rather interesting a lot of the time. Great suggestions
