    Default Sawdust

    At the moment, we have countless number of offcut and saw dust which are clean and fully dried. As we use camphor laurel wood, the saw dust smell very nice and have antibacterial properties but the rate we are producing left overs are getting out of control. I believe sawdust are great for gardening. Do u have any ideas on what to do with them? ..like saw dust buyer ?
    Thanks

    Horse stables use a lot. If used on the garden, Camphor Laurel needs to be rotted down first, raw sawdust kills a lot of plants.

    BTW I don't know anyone that pays for it, there is so much available, you can normally score heaps for free

    The other thing you can do with sawdust, if you have a fair bit of it, is find someone making wood pellets - for burning in a wood pellet fire.

    As for your offcuts, if they're a size that could suit pen turners, you would probably get some moved through the "Timber" section of the marketplace here. Larger pieces can be used for box making.

    If the pieces for offcuts are too small, perhaps some forum members might want to take some for kindling or wood for a fire pit?

    Normally from my experience wood shavings like pine are used in horse stables due to them having little to no odour as something like camphor laurel would be to overpowering in a stable.
