I've got quite a big bin of scrap hardwoods now. Theyre not big enough for anything larger than a long trinket box drawer handle or one side of a box.
But I dont want to just burn them. I have rosewood, beech, mahogany, iroku, that kind of wood.

I'm thinking trinkets like you see at craft fairs, but I dont want to start selling. Maybe make a batch and then sell in bulk to a stall holder?
But what shapes? and how to make them?

If they were all exactly the same thickness, you could rip them all to the same width, laminate them up into a flat panel, then use that as your stock material to make a box or boxes. Someone here on the forum posted pics a while back of a project using scrap wood in that manner.
Set it up like hardwood flooring...staggered end butt joints. A 'plank' 6" x 48" should give you lots of material.

Dan, the important word here is "scrap".
No two are the same measurement in any direction. and if I started to try to get a uniform size, it would all be grains of sand size.

I was thinking small necklace and bangle shapes, as long as thats not too much hard work.

Make things like ear rings, crosses to go on a necklaces. Search Google for ideas. Just think of all the hugs and kisses you would get from the ladies you gave them to.

Hmmmmm! I might make some my self. I like hugs and kisses.

Dan has a good suggestion there and the parts don't need to be uniform. I've assembled a number of pieces together (previously posted) into 1 slab then ran the slab through my neighbors drum sander to establish a uniform thickness prior to ripping the slab on the TS to make boxes etc. The only cuts I made to any individual piece was in regards to width, but then only to allow them to fit together.

For one planter box I did not sand the slab to uniform thickness but left that random to add a 3D appearance to the sides.

Just a thought.

These really are odds and sodds. from inch and a half square by 2" long to 6" square x 1/4 thick.

No way will these ever get glued together unless I'm making hardwood particle board.

about 30 lbs weight though, so i dont want to just burn it all. I shall see if a craft stall holder wants to buy it as a job lot.

When are you kids going to learn? There is no such thing as 'scrap' wood, it's like a unicorn, doesn't exist. There is only small pieces of wood, and sawdust.

So, you send that 'scrap' wood to me, I'll probably make a nice bonfire with it, and I'll pay the shipping costs. Problem solved.

If not to Joat then I'll be happy to take it on. For example see my post:
cut off bin to box to planter to--? posted on 01-23-2015

I'll take a picture later. a miniature model maker might want to work with these pieces, but I dont have the patience.

see what I mean?
