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

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.

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.

The glue used in multiplex is really bad to breathe in when burned. Both with a laser cutter and as firewood.

All i can see is mustaches and hats for large garden ornaments.

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

I would argue that most things are bad to breathe when burned

They’re free if you feel like making a trip to New England

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.

My laser cutter would love these scraps.

why would they through those out ',:(

Eventually you just run out of space

Come grab them! All yours!

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

I would take this if it was near me

Been thinking of making coasters so stuff like this would be great.

Currently in the original England, so it might get a bit wet.

Each top comes with a sound hole cutout

I’ll wax the ends for you 😉

Haha I’ve been doing that for over a decade

I try to be a little choosier these days

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!
