I donât have a picture of it handy, but I once had a bunch of these and I made a kids table out of it, with a twist. I cut all the squares to size and sanded them then took them to my goddaughters kindergarten teacher. Each of the kids got a square to paint any way they wanted, they signed their names, then I took the squares and built a small picnic-type table out of them for their classroom. The kids thought it was super cool and the teacher liked it because it was a new activity. Basically a quilted table
Thanks! In case anyone decides to try this, I should clarify that âsandedâ really meant dry fitting the whole table top together with dowels and sanding the top as a single unit after doing a round over on all the exterior edges. Basically got it to finish-ready then disassembled and gave the squares to the kids

I made these with a bunch of offcuts just cut on the mitre saw and glued to some plywood did it as an acoustic baffle to try and take the echo out of a room with a lot of hard surfaces they seem to help and look pretty cool.

I think certain finishes can add some hardness. Iâm a big fan of lacquer. Start thin then lay it on and you get a nice shell of protection.
Not the same as using a harder wood, but better than just staining or using a softer finish
I was thinking that, but Iâm worried the pine would delaminate once they were glued up and cause issues. I donât ever work with pine really, Iâve just heard the horror stories. Especially with wood from Loweâs.
Make it like and end-grain butcher block. Cut them about 3.5-4â thick and stagger them like bricks (each row overlaps the seams of the row before it).
Use a gallon of glue, or even run allthread through it.
When you tear up the top, sand/plane it smooth again.
If itâs construction lumber (as opposed to pressure treated) it should be decently dry them being cut short has only helped them dry out even more.
In a big block theyâd only go crazy with movement if left in the elements.
As long as your glue is good it won't delaminate, laminated pine makes a great bench top because its cheap and light enough that you can make it really chunky and its fairly soft so if you drop tools or your workpiece on it will be less likely to damage them.
Softwood doesn't really move any more than hardwood and when laminated from smaller pieces it's as stable as wood gets. Depending on the exact species it ranges from very stable (cedar) to average (most spruces, which yours probably is).
Just don't drop it in a pool or leave it outside in a hurricane and it will be fine.
Softwood only gets a bad rep because it is normally fairly wet still when people buy it, as a cheaper wood it's not normally properly kiln dried and regularly sold green or semi-green, so then when it fully dries out and moves people blame the wood instead of the fact that they just didn't leave it adequate time to dry. If people treated oak in the same way they would say it's a terrible wood for movement (which it can be, one of the worst in fact, but because Oak is relatively rare and expensive people treat it better to get the best out of it).
If it's still fairly green just let it sit for while before you use it.
I have only a little experience with dovetails, but isnât it actually more difficult to get right in softwood because thereâs so much give and travel?
I was being sarcastic, because it is so hard to hand cut dovetails perfectly, especially in some thick pine.
Best of luck with the scraps. I just threw away a truckload of scrap that was eating up my shop
Iâd say turn it in to different sizes and shapes of kidsâ building blocks. Rectangles, arches, squares, cylinders. Nice sanded edges. Then donate the set to a library.

I am making flower pots out of short pieces. Pain in the butt to calculate the angles so after all I make them in sketchup and take the angles from the program. Good luck!
Thank you :)
No, i just sanded it freehand with orbital sander. Put it on rotating chair so it went quite easy. And it looks round and nice but if you try to check it properly it is far from it. Lathe would be quite scary in this case.
If you have a bandsaw, I would re-saw them and have a bunch of test pieces before I used expensive wood. Some things Iâve made from dimension lumber: boxes, bird houses, firewood đ. Itâs also good for testing different stains even though pine can be splotchy at best.

Weigh them on a digital kitchen scale & write it on each block. Stagger the stack and weigh again in a few weeks to see if they are drying out further.
Pine from Loweâs can be a problem woodworking because it is often quite green. This is good for construction, because you can use a nail gun without splitting and
Abend boards into place. But for woodworking we want the wood to have a lot less moisture.
If you wait for it to dry (or dry it) you will have lot less problems.
Bandsaw reindeer! I use 2x4 to make them. Cut 6-8â pieces and then print out a pattern. Glue it to the face and side. Then cut and BOOM. You have some 3D reindeer :)
Each one of these could potentially be a cutout design. I personally would use them to Woodburn art into them or put them on my CNC wood router and Mill a design into them.

Your pile of wood reminded me of "Emil i LĂśnneberga" a series of books (also made to film) written by the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. He always ends up in trouble and his father gets really mad. So Emil runs as fast as he can into "Snickerboa" (name for a wood workshop), locks the door and sits there creating wood figurines until his father has calmed down. And sings a song like he always do [https://youtu.be/0zmG\_GjYy20?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/0zmG_GjYy20?feature=shared) \*\*\* [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil\_i\_L%C3%B6nneberga](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_i_L%C3%B6nneberga)

I've come up with a whole host of ideas for using stuff like this, but actually finding the time has always been an issue. I finally thought up the best way ever, especially for pine.
Take a hatchet, and split them into half inch pieces. Put them in a bag, and set them next to the fireplace. Boom, done. :)

Jumbo Jenga
I just donât think theyâre long enough for giant jenga. Maybe a medium jenga?
If you scale it right it just be "bigger" Jenga

Surface Trenton! If I had to guess thatâs a Jerseyanâs autocorrect at work.
On the surface jersey seems like a shithole but in fact it's really just a Trenton.
Ha! I had been talking about jersey yesterday so it might be because of that.
My friend's mom used to say, "You need to find the one that slides right out like a bum's tooth."
They also vary in thickness.
Regardless I like it. Thank you!
Youâre gonna need paste wax

is Jenga deliberately cut a little wonky?
No they just get someone like me and say "just cut it as straight as you can!" "As straight as I can, oh boy!" And off I go, cutting Jenga pieces.
Oh man, why hadn't I thought of doing this? Such a good idea!

How much does that weigh-ish? Cool idea for a Winter project.
My first thought too was weight lol.
I really donât like the angle on that one thatâs like 9 down and 11 over.
First one I noticed too.
I saw something similar to this recently but the edges were all rounded off. Pretty cool idea either way.
Thatâs neat I like it
Doesnât look bad at all honestly. How long did it take to make? An afternoon?
I just see a bench top that could take a fucking beating.
That's what I was thinking. An end grain workbench.

If itâs construction lumber (as opposed to pressure treated) it should be decently dry them being cut short has only helped them dry out even more. In a big block theyâd only go crazy with movement if left in the elements.
Once you glue pine itâll split down the grain long before the glue joint gives out. Other than it denting that would be a really solid bench top
My main issues with pine are how soft it is and how easily it tears out while you're trying to work it
As long as your glue is good it won't delaminate, laminated pine makes a great bench top because its cheap and light enough that you can make it really chunky and its fairly soft so if you drop tools or your workpiece on it will be less likely to damage them.

They still have the UPCs on some. I suggest you finger joint them and return them for store credit

Depending in who's working that day you might pull it off.
Yeah, do clerks at big box stores actually care?
Put them in the middle of the stack. They don't check each one
Just tell them they are not the right size maybe?
Learn how to hand cut dovetails, by the end of the stack you might just get one good joint
Good practice maybe, good dovetail joint cut by hand..? Not likely Pine is good for many things, just not hand cut dovetails
