    Zero waste with wood scraps – What to do with cut-offs & small pieces?

    Wood scraps generated during production, in workshops, or schools are often considered waste but offer numerous opportunities for sustainable reuse. Small pieces of wood are well suited for making keychains, magnets, or wooden jewelry, which can be individually designed and used as gifts or items for sale. Additionally, schools and MakerSpaces appreciate wood scraps to use them for creative projects and educational purposes. Joining various wood scraps into patchwork wood panels also creates unique materials for further creative work. Thus, wood scraps actively contribute to resource conservation, sustainability, and community promotion through creative use.

    Laser engraving wooden jewelry – Tips for light and elegant jewelry pieces

    Precious Plywood is an ideal material for handcrafted jewelry – whether earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or foot jewelry. It is stable, yet pleasantly light and can be precisely processed with the laser. Due to its fine structure, it is particularly suitable for delicate designs with high wearing comfort.

    The size and shape of the jewelry pieces is a matter of taste – what matters is that they appear harmonious and are comfortable to wear. Rounded edges and good weight distribution further increase comfort. A finish with natural oils or waxes protects the wood, highlights the grain, and makes the jewelry durable.

    Laser engraving photos on wood – immortalize unique memories in natural material

    When laser engraving photos on wood, a laser permanently and in detail burns the image into the surface. For this, the photo is first converted into a high-contrast black-and-white image and processed with a special raster method (dithering).

    Light, finely grained woods such as Sycamore, Birch, or Beech are best suited. After engraving, residues can be removed and the wood refined with oil or varnish.

    The result is personal, durable unique pieces – ideal as a gift or keepsake.
