Perhaps because, like myself, you are too reluctant to part with
"scraps", particularly the really small ones?

Guilty. It's only trash if it's too small to hold while cutting/
sanding it, otherwise it must be good for something! Hence the trying
to make a effort to use them.

I swear, I have to take up segmented turning one of these days...

The trouble is it's so much easier to take repeated cuts off a long
board then try to sort through all the scraps to try to find enough
that are big enough and then make half a dozen cuts on each of them,
most of which you have to find some inventive way of doing safely just
to get one piece out of it.
