Thread: Please help suggest my next project using long narrow figured off cuts

Just graciously received heaps exotic figured long narrow offcuts from my box making mentor.

As my table saw is being held hostage waiting for repair, my hands are starting to hurt again from being idle too long.

I'll post a few pics of the offcuts and a list of the species once the ladies are up and about.

my first thought was to use them for Japanese Kumiko Patterns.
But would prefer to show off the figuring and concerned with wasting 3mm kerf of blade for every strip.

The wide thin pieces will be used for box sides or box inserts or framed box tops.

Its the other longer pieces I need suggestions for.

Almost all are figures in some way.

Any positive constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
