hello,

depending on the size, glue them together, and make some inlay patterns with
them... I spent a couple of afternoon doing that 2 weeks ago, I now have
around 20 strips (4 different designs) of inlays and I am looking for plenty
of boxes ideas to use them!!
I just discover 2 1/4 inch scrap pieces (6''*6'' roughly) of contrasting
colors and will turn them into checkerboard 1/4 square inlay strips....

it's fun and fast and cool to do!

after you are done doing that, find other woodworker around who are doing it
to and do some exchanges. the problem being that you usually end up with 5
strips of the same design, which it would be much better to have 5 different
designs, therefore the trading...

What can I do? I have many cu. ft. / pounds of cutoffs trimmings etc. that
are small, thin, and probably totally useless. I can't bring myself to
throw them away. They're overtaking my garage and useful wood. HELP HELP
