Browsing through abook that I recieved for my birthday and I came across this little gem. I can finally use up all the small skinny scrap that has been around forever. First I routed & ripped the strips, Then sanded, stained & poly’d the strips prior to cutting the pieces. When cutting the pieces I set up two chop saws. One for the trimmer and one for the final size. As you can see by the pictures that I try to cut as close as possible to the waste, this gives me the max amout of pieces per strip. Ceramic tiles are square so one size does all 4 sides. Hope you like it

Eagle,

You did a good job on these and nice use of “scrap” material too.

Thanks for the post.

Good Idea… And Lew’s idea of using them for Christmas presents is a good idea too.

Very good use of the scrap up to the last milimeter. The white slab looks nice. Any other light color would also look good. I presume it is used for keeping hot vessels.

Great job Eagle. I never throw out scraps except the tiny bits.
