A project focused on the reuse of wood scraps. Wood scraps were glued together to make a bench. The gaps in the bench are determined by the lengths of material that were accessible for each wood species. The scraps from the bench, thinner than before, were made into two stools and a coffee table. The remaining scraps were used to make a series of 100 unique toothpick holders. 13 species of hard- and softwoods were used. There is no hardware in any of the works – the structures are held together with wood joints and glue.
