Special Plane Shavings

[shoottx]

As I glued up several pieces for mallets, I cleaned them up with a nice sharp plane. and ended up with an interesting pile of shavings (1st picture in this thread http://www.bt3central.com/showthread.php?t=41826)

LOML said the shavings were beautiful and saved them in a shopping bag. I though "oh no another pile of sawdust, saved for no reason." I would have swept them up and thrown them away.

Well here is what happened to the bag of "sawdust".

That's pretty creative. Very nice-looking.

SWMBO has a very good eye for design. That is really clever!

I have provided similar cedar shavings to one of my SILs, who used a hot-melt gun to make little trees that serve as air fresheners. She "recharges" the aroma as needed with a little spray bottle of cedar oil she got at the store. I don't have the patience for a project like that.

That's pretty cool, and they are beautiful shavings.

That is unique and I like it but I am not letting LOML see it! I have too much to do as it is!

Very good use of waste! Quite clever

It's obvious who has the artistic talent in that family!

Yup! No question about that!

Now you've done it. Once all your wife's freinds see that, you'll be in the shop turning wood into shavings.
