I tend to save EVERY little piece of wood scrap!
I've got a box full of so many pieces of wood scrap...pieces that I
KNOW I'll need 10 years down the road...for a shim, etc. lol
When do YOU guys finally throw out a scrap piece? Do
YOU feel guilty? lol
Have a nice weekend...

I don't understand the question as stated. I don't have scrap,
just wood, small pieces of wood, and smaller pieces of wood.
I do generate sawdust, which mostly gets thrown out. Works great
in the winter to get traction on ice or packed snow, for the car.

Too true, JOAT. But for me, 'scrap' is when I buy wood from the pile
marked 'scrap' at my favorite lumber store. They're nice chunks of wood
just sitting there for 25 cents apiece. The pieces I buy are about .5
board feet, but it's usually maple and sometimes cherry, even occasionally
mahogany and walnut (though smaller pieces). Sometimes the maple has nice
figure, too. They call it scrap, I call it a new jewelry box.

l have a lot of scrap l save, then if I go to use it, I think it's too
nice to use ,so i'll look for a smaller or more beat up piece to use.

I tend to save about everything as well and I often end up using it. I'm
about to post a picture on a.b.p.w. of one of my projects with scrap pieces.
This was several pieces of left over oak that were about 4 1/2" long and two
smaller pieces of 1/4" walnut. It is a small box for communion at church --
space for the cup and a wafer. Don't fuss about picture quality -- it's a
new digital and I've never used one before. That might be a gloat other
than the reason I got it -- turned [mumble] years old today.

Only thing worse than saving tiny scraps is getting to use one. That
justifies saving even more of them.
Yes, I do feel guilty tossing even a 2' x 6". It may be just what you need
to fit something.

When my Lady needs to fire up the woodstove here
In The Woods In Vermont, there is a natural scrap-sorting
process in the 'scrap box'. If I'm not home, some small pieces
of cherry get fired up.
All the cherry I have has been 'rescued' from the woodpile
already. 9 years ago I burned it all. These days, I've been
known to bring an occasional nice 4 foot log section of Cherry or hard
Maple, along with more conventional sizes, to my friend Nick with the
Woodmiser saw mill.
His eyebrows move around over top of his glasses. "I'm not sure
which one of you is the WoodMiser", he chuckles...

In my dictionary they're the second strike:
col·um·bar·i·um (kol´?m-bâr'e-?m) also col·um·bar·y (kol'?m-ber´e) noun
plural col·um·bar·i·a (-e-?) also col·um·bar·ies
1. a. A vault with niches for urns containing ashes of the dead.
b. One of the niches in such a vault.
2. a. A dovecote. b. A pigeonhole in a dovecote.

I would never throw them out. I bury them in the back yard in a small pine
casket with a headstone. After the religious service I feel lots better.

I've been waiting for pigs to fly so I can get rid of some scraps. Don't

I send the shavings to the crematorium. And the ashes to the columbarium,
which I visit regularly.

I usually throw it out the day before I find a use for it.

I thought it was just me who had the problem. Comforting to know I have
company. One thing I came up with ( I like to do turnings) was turned
wooden pulls that fasten to the end of lamp and ceiling chains. Lasted a
good while until one of my daughters told me she was going to convert all
her lamps to those damn twist switches. She may not get a share of my first
million.
There is a modified spur center which makes it easier to get the right
internal dimensions for a lamp pull. If anyone gives a damn, ask, and I
will go downstairs and find the catalog where I found it.
