What to do with excess/scrap lumber? Sometimes, I do stuff just to do them.
Scab off a cedar log, with odd figure and shape. When I get tired of Wile E., I can flip the backrest around and display the Easter Bunny. Scroll right for 2 more pics.

Maybe it'll entertain the young kids for a few minutes, at least.

I assumed folks may sing along, but not dance, so much. And the saw dust on the floor facilitates stepping-out, that way.

What's not normal about that?

Thanks. The imagery wasn't hard to notice, kinna similarly as with some knots in hollowed cypress logs looking like birds and boats.
The market, here, certainly isn't the same as the west coast. It might bring a couple of hundred, if that.

Now that is something different. The little ones should get a kick
out of that.

Especially those of us "kids" who actually know who Wile E. is.

Yeah, my shop activities are not always normal. When no one is looking, I've been known to two-step past the table saw, when a good Cajun song is playing on the radio. Whatever comes to mind, sometimes happen.

My only problem is that my shop is so small that my 2 step is kind of a quick-quick-slow-sl

Good eye Sonny, that was great either way!
I can see that in an art gallery here in Montecito or Santa Barbara
for thousands of Dollars.

Oh, I'd bet there is a foo foo art gallery somewhere near you where
the wealthy shop so specialty items. We're "fortunate" here to have
some places around in various places, like the one's I mentioned, as
well as in Beverly Hills, Wilshire, Some parts of Santa Monica, Venice
Beach, etc. Some art galleries will review a catalogue of sort and
accept pieces to show like a museum would, for a percentage of the
sale. I know a few people here who work with stone and create art
pieces, bowls, and stuff like that and then work out their deals,
sometimes commanding very high prices due to the way the object
catches the eye or fancy of the buyer. Some pieces go into high end
homes, others into lobbies of business' and so on. Don't sell yourself
short. Although it is nice for someone like me and others to buy
something occasionally that doesn't require the birth certificate of a
first born son. :)
