[echnidna]

Jake has just found a good supply of cabinet timber offcuts. :) :) :)

What Nice things could he make outa them?

Have a look at the Box Making forum. Lots of neat boxes you can make with nice pieces of timber.

Could even try gluing some together and try a bit of Woodturning of make some Bandsawn boxes

Ummm, (going to expose my other forum interest here :B )
Hairforks.

Depends if you are interested in selling on the net.

I am a member of a forum discussing hair care, and how to look after long hair as well as style tips, and a lot of people use hairforks, and pay exorbitent prices on ebay etc for well crafted items, some links below to show you what I mean

Just a left of centre idea thrown up, depends on how small pieces of timber.

I think Jake should start with this:

41831

then perhaps a nice end table with different timber, inlay, stringing, veneered feet, etc etc.

41832

Always happy to help, Jake :wink:

Wow, those are amazing.

There are an awful lot of things in this world I am completely ignorant of, and until today hairforks was one.
