Turn your scrap plywood into something which is both beautiful and functional.

I would highly recommend you use the highest quality you can get as it will make your life easier as it will have no voids, I used a scrap piece I had.

I ripped my 18 mm thick plywood down to 100 mm wide then set up a stop (to prevent the small peices from getting trapped and causing problems) and set my fence to cut 12.5 mm strips referencing off of the stop

Gluing and Sanding

I spread glue and clamped them up.

I later sanded them down taking care to get them as level as I can.

I rubbed some BLO (boiled linseed oil) on and it made the grain stand out.
