What can you do with wood scrapings?
Question:Wood scrapings as in what is made/produced after someone shapes furniture of a sculpture. Please answer!
Answers:
If they are oak, plum, alder or apple - or several other species - you can put them on the coals of your BBQ for flavor. Oak is particularly good with salmon, plum with pork, apple with many things.
The four I mentioned are sold commercially in Lawn & Garden shops for BBQ's. Check somewhere if you are using exotic woood; I know Oleander, for instance, can kill you.
You could use then in your out side plants. That will make the dirt richer in time.
Or just throw them in the garden if ya got one. All wood scrapings are good for making better soil.
Make particle board
"Well my baby came at me with a 2x4
So I fought her off with sandpaper
It was 60 grit, it was really rough
And it made a lot of sawdust
But we patched things up with love and glue
We went to the church and said "I do"
Our honeymoon was at a hardware store
Our love's a lot like particle board
Particle Board, it ain't got no grain
Unless you paint it with a darkwood stain
Particle Board, it doesn't take no brains to know that
Our love's a lot like particle board
Well I heard the train come rolling by
With cattle on board, so we decided
We should drop everything and hop that train
And take a one-way trip to the slaughterhouse
Well we stared at the cattle as they took the walk
To meet the man who worked the saw
We stared at the blood and the guts and the gore
It looked an awful lot like particle board
Particle Board, it ain't got no grain
Unless you paint it with a darkwood stain
Particle Board, it doesn't take no brains to know that
Our love's a lot like particle board
We made love on a flat bed truck
She worried about getting splinters in her butt
I said don't think about those problems when we rut
The deck's made of particle board
Ahh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Particle board, you could make a dresser
Or a shelf or a hutch or an ottoman
You could leave it like it is or paint it up
It's still gonna be made of particle board
Particle board, it's useful stuff
It's stronger than glue, it's better than fluff
It sounds like a simile and that's enough
To say that our love's a lot like particle board
Our love's a lot like particle board
Our love's a lot like particle board
Our love's a lot like particle board
Ahh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Particle Board! "
Give them to the pet shop so that they can give them to little animals like bunnies and mice and guinea pigs and puppies and kittens to scurry about in and make their homes.
Wood scraping/chips/sawdust all can be used in composts,garden fillers, or weed control in gardens by covering the ground around plants.
If you don't have a garden then your local dump sites has composts sites set up just for thing like this.
Good Luck
I use sawdust and small wood shaving mixed with sand for putting in a barrel with my maille shirt and rolling it around to remove the rust.
