Using the Scraps

In the process of making some of the wooden sticks and blocks, interesting cutoffs, usually very small, are an inadvertent byproduct of what we make.  On this page are some images of some of the shapes that can be composed of many such parts.

Sawing off the pointy ends of the 6-axis sticks is done mainly to solve the problem of too sharp a stick that is more vulnerable to chipping and less pleasantly tactile.  Also, cutting away the tips creates attractive rosettes around the points where five sticks meet.
This picture shows how 60 cutoff pieces can be assembled.

This is very small...

And, just for fun, from 24 Maple and Bubinga scraps, here's an even littler one!
