Popular Post kywoodmaster Posted November 29, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 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. jollyred, TexasDIY, jr42 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Nice job. A testament to the truth of the saying that "there's no such thing as scrap wood". ChelCass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 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.

Blaughn Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 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.........

heppnerguy Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 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 Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
