I’d convince myself that every scrap in that box had potential and keep it around next to my bench for six years before throwing it out.
Haha I’ve been doing that for over a decade
I try to be a little choosier these days
There is absolutely still meat on those bones for people who make small stuff. I would at least see if I could donate to a makerspace or something.
Been thinking of making coasters so stuff like this would be great.
Each top comes with a sound hole cutout
I try to whenever possible. We make 2-3 boxes a week plus whatever we make at the sawmill.
Waste management could be a fulltime job that our small team doesn’t have the bandwidth to handle.
I do what I can, but some times you just need to make space
why would they through those out ',:(
Eventually you just run out of space
I would take this if it was near me

All i can see is mustaches and hats for large garden ornaments.
They’re free if you feel like making a trip to New England
Currently in the original England, so it might get a bit wet.
I’ll wax the ends for you 😉
The glue used in multiplex is really bad to breathe in when burned. Both with a laser cutter and as firewood.
I would argue that most things are bad to breathe when burned
True, but there’s a difference in toxicity between wood and plastic. And the glue used for multiplex is more towards plastic than wood when it comes to how harmful it is. But there’s also wood which is harmful. Like figs trees, they are also very toxic when burned. Just be careful with what you burn. A regular campfire or stove fire with stuff like birch or other common woods isn’t that bad unless you’re highly sensitive, like astma, but stuff like plastic, glue, or other chemicals should not be burned and it’s fumes definitely not inhalated.
I appreciate the concern.
The only plywood in the pile is the stand itself. Everything else is spruce, mahogany, redwood, and rosewood.
What you’re probably seeing is quartering.
Admittedly, there is a single scrap hanging out in the background that broke off, but that’s not getting burned. I’m just too lazy to throw it out
Oh lol! I didn’t zoom in. I assumed they were multiplex as they were so thin, and this looks exactly like the scap box of multiplex next to my laser cutter. I didn’t see they were just thin sheets of just pure wood. My bad mate! Burn away!
My laser cutter would love these scraps.
Come grab them! All yours!
Do I see guitars and a viola?
E: and a cello
Flattop acoustic guitar cutoffs
Mostly tops
Handful of backs
I’m getting thrown off by the couple of mahogany(?) pieces that look like violin shapes
You’re probably seeing the locating tabs we use for machining
