Never mind. I am a hobbyist. My goal is to recycle wood that is left
over from other works. snip

I don't know the numbers, but I'd say there's not a lot of us here
that woodwork for their main income - we're hobbyists in other words.
You recycle leftover wood by using it in another project, making small
things, appropriate to the size of the piece of wood - kid toys, jewelry
boxes, jigs, etc. Sawdust use as mulch, pet bedding (depending on wood
type, and animal type), traction in the winter, even make sawdust clay.
Wood too small to realistically use, can go in a bonfire, smoke meat,
BBQing; even make charcoal, then charcoal briquets. You can spend time
on making your own particle board if you want, but I'd consider it a
totally useless waste of time and effort. Better to think of some
activity that would be a useful waste of time. Your time, but homemade
particle board just seems so pointless.
