LOL!
I'd be a rich man for sure!
And he said it was very expensive wood....not so. It's one of the better values out there right now.

If that stuff moves maybe there's a market for kerfing out there. Need to get the broom and dust pan out. |

Don't throw it away, sell it on Ebay. This should be their new slogan. |

Wow, I had a ton of Zebrawood shavings of similar size. Only problem with that stuff is the smell ain't so hot. I looks cool though. Would have been great for craft projects. |

I think bags of ebony dust are popular with the witchcraft people on eBay. |

Believe it or not, I have about 60 gallon bags of hickory shavings from when I sawed up a hickory tree. People buy this stuff for cooking when they want a true hickory taste to their BBQ. A friend in the sawmill business tipped me off to it. It seems that the sawdust and shavings are worth more than the boards.

I think someone has been smoking these shavings...... - and perhaps the drapes too...... So my Festool vac bag is worth a fortune...? |

That's It!!! Right before I sell off my shop this spring I am going to convert my brazilian stash into shavings. Might as well do Cocobolo too!! |

I should find out the pricing on ebony dust. There are days when I could shovel it out of the Fadal. |

Does it void the warrenty on you laptop if the wine on the keyboard was snorted through your nose rather than spilled directly from a glass? Isn't there some relevant personal injury clause or something?
Heh Waddy, I've resawn 6 B&S sets of zebrawood this last week, and I don't see why people think it smells bad at all. It is slightly acrid, but no more so than a lot of other things. It just doesn't fall in the "boy I want to saw this all day because it smells wonderful" family of woods. |

I don't find it that bad either, but I wouldn't put it in the "Gee that smells nice" category. |

Years ago I used to sell hand plane and jointer shavings to a local pet store for $1 per pound. In many cases I could recoup about half of what I spent on wood for a project by doing this. On another occasion I re-sawed two large billets of Brazilian rosewood. I swept up all of the shavings and dust that didn't end up in the dust collector and it filled two large garbage bags. Based on what I paid for the wood by weight, those two bags were worth $800 !! I gave them to a local weaver who used it to make dye. She was stoked!! Mark |

It's pretty scary what the value of what ends up on the floor is - even your basic woods, Spruce, Mahogany, etc. Lots-o-waste in our processes. |

What a crock! I sometimes bag up cedar shavings to but under a car seat or in a dresser drawer(put them inside of wife's old pantyhose). This guy on ebay is pushing the limit though! |
