When you are wood carving, you will end up with small pieces of scrap wood when cutting out projects. Those scraps, although they may look like trash at first, can actually be used for other applications or projects. Sometimes, the pieces are large enough to make small ornaments or earrings. Small or miniature figures is another option for the scrap pieces. It has also been pointed out that you can use the scrap pieces to test paints before applying the paint to your actual carving to see what if the shade is correct.
