Hey all,

Just finishing a deck with Ipe, and I have about 18 pieces of ~12" off cuts.
I can make planters but I don't think I'll need that many [unsure]

So if any of you have any ideas let's hear them.

Thanks in advance.

The table top is a great idea, would go great on the deck.
Thanks.
I don't have a band saw but thanks for the suggestion.

I do not own a band saw either. I did not use a band saw, trammel and router.

18 pieces won't make much, I would put them in the burn pile.
 
Well, if you're going to burn it...i'd get the hell away since it's loaded with cilica and is considered hazardous as dust [scared]
 
I realize that this is an ad for a product, but at the 6:00 minute mark, he is working on a small table that looks like it is made from the scraps you have.



If the link does not show, look up "starborn pro plug" on youtube.

I burn about four 55 gallon drums of Ipe off cuts per winter. 

It is silica.
