Waste Not Products
As a woodworker, I have accepted the fact that I will have scrap wood from just about every project. As a conservationist (read: hippie), I have not been able to accept the fact I should occasionally throw it out.
Laying out the options for pencil caddies.
The solution for this ever-growing scrap pile and my inability to deal with it coalesced in the form of the Waste Not Product Line. These are little projects that I have created using the leftovers from the other things that I’ve created.
Freshly milled up scraps after the glue dried.
I pick a project that I’d like to make and then glue together the scraps, mill them down, and assemble them into unique, usable products such as pencil caddies, coasters, and business card holders.
Cutting pieces to the appropriate sizes and creating the joinery.
All of the products in the Waste Not Line are made in small batch, limited quantities, and because I don’t purchase wood for these products, those particular designs will never be made again.
Pencil caddies ready for your office.
