Key Uses for Sawdust

To the hardcore woodworker, nothing smells quite as good as freshly sawn wood. While the uses for the wood are obvious, the leftover sawdust also has some serious potential. Here are three great ideas for recycling and reusing the leavings of your woodworking projects: Winter Traction Clean, natural and biodegradable, sawdust is the ideal substance to throw on wet, frozen or otherwise slippery surfaces. Not only does it provide the necessary traction for those trying to walk across the area but it also protects the underlying ground from excessive wear and tear.  Everyday Cleaning Sawdust is an excellent absorber of almost every type of spill. It can help clean everything from motor oil and liquid soaps through far less pleasant liquids. Save all your sawdust in a bucket in the garage. It takes up almost no space, can be used for the weekly cleanings of your work space and is a welcome convenience for those unexpected accidents. Filling & Repair For the professional woodworker, nothing can really substitute for very fine sawdust or “wood flour” as it known in the business. This substance makes an excellent and stainable wood filler that is ideal for hiding imperfections in all sorts of woodworking projects.
