So I made a cross and I have this scrap piece of wood. Now what do I do with it?
I'm thinking of a picture frame. I took my project design and put a decorative edge on the front and then a carve region on the back to place the picture or mirror in. Should I delete the cross from the project so it looks like a solid board or should I hide the pattern of the cross so it looks like the board in this picture? Wood is so expensive up here I hate to waste any. I learned the hard way about the 7 inch rule and I cringe every time I carve something. I just want to use my resources wisely.

You could make some coasters. Just tell it to locate on the corner not center.
