I had just finished making an extension for the floor of a dais and was picking up the scraps. I noticed that the cut offs from the corbel had a nice shape. I don’t throw away much and this wood was pretty special being clear and 16/8” and all. I cleaned them up, routed the edges and used the Watkins Walnut Oil to seal and stain.
Gave them to a co-worker.
Hope you too can save some bits!
Jack

BTKS, that’s exactly what I said to myself “waste not, want not,” as I read this, and was just getting ready to type it, then I got to your comment. I guess certain minds think alike… I can’t comment on your mind, and mine, well, I plead the 5th!
It would’ve been a shame to send that wood to the scrap pile… nice job finding an appropriate use for it Jack.

Great job! I have a really hard time throwing scraps away. It is a good thing I have a wood stove or I’d be neck deep in them.
