Round weave box

I used Peruvian walnut for the inlay. The light wood is soft maple. The dowels are American walnut.

Beautiful design.  This inlay looks so interesting. 

So what is the scrap pieces used for?

Awesome, Dave.  Such fine cutting on the inlay.   I can never seem to get as sharp corners.

I never have a plan for the scraps. Sometimes I can use them for other inlays but a lot of the time they end up in the trash. It's a lot of waste for sure but I like them and they sell well.

They're not perfect if you look close. I have the best luck if I use 3/8" material.

Thank. I use a #5 Pegas MGT blades for all the cutting and inlay.

Your inlays look so good it is NOT worth worrying about using the  scraps.
