Has anyone come up with a practical use for lathe shavings? What?
Seems like such a waste. Kitty litter? appreciate some feedback.

the dust and small chips go into the DC, which gets checked for
sandpaper, etc. and put in the green waste..
The larger chips and smaller shavings are used for mulching... usually
neighbors, since if it isn't in the shop.. I don't do gardens.. lol

I keep a big cardboard box against the wall near the lather for those
long or fluffy shavings... good fire starting stuff and fun (along
with stubs, failed turnings, etc.) to add to the fire once in a while
for a blast of heat & light..
