I found that I have a hard time getting rid of "scrap" wood. By scrap I mean wood that is under 24" long. Not big enough for most projects but handy when you need it. My solution are a couple of four drawer file cabinets. Having eight drawers allows the wood to be sorted by type. I have maple in one drawer, walnut, red oak and hickory in others. Even plywood. Works nice. Larger wood gets put into the ceiling joists or on a shelf unit. Thought I would share these ideas with y'all. Enjoy.
