It looks like you could glue these pieces to a board and call it art! Sell it for a few $$Thou, then decide who got the best deal in the divorce ;-)

You have also inspired me with your project. I just ordered a thin rip jig for the table saw, so I can use up those scraps sitting around. I plan on making a cutting board with a twist. Keep up the woodworking!

Hi Occie. Nice work on the rings from the lay up of scraps. Did you turn them on the lathe or cut them out flat?
