Don't just empty your dust collector. List the contents on Ebay as nano-lumber! Dennis |

Yep, just enough wood to hold the cracks together. |

13-piece BRW back!! Actually, the longer pieces might be okay for binding.... Dave F. |

I don't think you could get enough superglue into those pieces to make 1 binding strip... Long, wavy cracks was all I needed to see.... You would have the patented "Brazilian Superglue Bindings" Thanks John |

This guy has been selling scraps of BRW for a while. The cracks in this are very bad but you never know what people will buy off ebay. |

 Ha! You guys missed out on this one altogether. He must have been taking the picture from a third story window. I went ahead and bought the wood, and it is 2" thick and 8" wide, and really long!

This is doable for a back and sides... Slice it with a 3-micron Kerf laser beam... Make 9 "Back" slices 1 15/16" x 0.060" thick and 10 "Sides" slices 1" x 0.060" thick. Just exercise "Normal" care during Jointing and all should be A-OK. We don't call it "Paper thin"... Why it's at least 20x as thick as normal paper.... We call it A "Responsive Back" and "Easy to Bend Sides" Thanks John |

I have a bunch of exotic toothpicks for sale? They are somewhat weathered from saliva and mastication though. I'm sure they can be reused. They are now dry again.  MK |

I love the smell of BRW. I've seen closets lined in cedar. I wonder if I could get enough Braz........"micro lumber" to line a closet
