Excellent uses for timber off cuts
Small pieces of our kiln dried live edge timber have many uses. These off cuts can be surprisingly versatile and useful for a variety of projects and purposes.
By thinking creatively, even the smallest off cuts of timber can be transformed into useful and attractive items, minimising waste and making the most of your beautiful timber. Here are some ideas on how these live edge off cuts can be used:
- Short pieces of timber are perfect for fashioning picture frames, coasters, ornaments, wall art and small sculptures.
- Use small pieces for repairing furniture, filling gaps, or reinforcing joints.
- Create unique furniture accents, such as decorative inlays, legs for small tables, or shelf brackets.
- Build birdhouses or feeders and small planters or raised bed corners for your garden.
- Craft simple toys, puzzles, or building blocks for children from small off cuts.
- Make small shelves or storage solutions.
- Create custom bookends by attaching heavier pieces of wood at right angles.
- Attach hooks or nails to pieces of timber to create custom coat or key racks.
- Shape and sand small pieces to create unique cabinet knobs and drawer pulls.
- Cut short pieces into uniform shapes to create place mats for hot dishes, small cutting boards or serving boards.
