Nogal scraps for detail and inlays of interest?

The project that prompted the hunt for nogal (aka Peruvian walnut) was a logo sign and wall lettering for an RV supplies business. Pic shows a sampling of the letters that have been cut. As you can imagine, there are lots of small scrap pieces that could be used for accents on woodworking projects. Nogal really pops against light colored wood as can be seen on the maple logo. The scraps could be used for things like miter splines, false tenons, bowties, knobs, etc.

Pieces run from less than palm size to maybe full hand size and were cut from planks nearly an inch thick. Have more than a 5 gallon bucket … maybe a couple of buckets worth. Anybody want to save these from the dumpster?

Pick up at my Arlington shop or sweet talk (& tip?) @hforsberg (who lives nearby) into bringing them to DMS.

Bert, I would like to claim a few. I will come by Tuesday early afternoon and pick them up on my way to DMS. I should be at DMS around 3 to 3:30. (No sweet talk needed this time).

Any individuals tagging this thread can look for me in the woodshop work area.
