I took all of my cut offs and turned them into a very cool set of doors for a hall cabinet I made for competition. I did 7 to 9 species arranged for a set of butcher block doors. There is no such thing as a bad cutoff. They are always good for inlay and banding material just like said above about intarsia.

Yesterday one of my kids commented that my inventory of "scrap wood" is nearly equal to the Local Woodcraft inventory of such. The kid also admitted she has a far greater view of the value of my scrap pile than before. Th which my granddaughter added that its not scrap and that she and grandpa make stuuf all the time from that pile. Interesting how an eleven year old sees stuff so clearly. Jim

The reason yunguns are quick and responsive is that their memory banks are barely starting to fill. A lot of extraneous stuff does not need to be considered, then rejected and one can move on to the next consideration. Lotsa times they only
have one thing to consider!;)
