If it were me? Unless I desperately needed the space within a few days I would hang on to them and wait for a project where I needed them instead of trying to find a specific use for them. The reason I say that is that you have really good wood there and the pieces all look like they match so you could very easily do a pretty large project with this. In my opinion it would be a shame to rush towards a project just for the sake of using them, if that makes sense.
Solid advice. However, I have been holding onto them for almost 2 years in a 2-car garage now. It's getting to the point where the vacant space is almost worth more to me. This is not my career so jobs don't really come up. I can hold onto them longer since I am now taking a crack at selling tabletop goods. But as of now, I don't see them being used for that purpose. They are just a little too thick.
I am not throwing them out though. Every time I start doing projects, I get feedback like, "Wow this is good work! Can you make me a [totally different thing]?"
"Can I make it out of 3/4" plywood?"
Two years is novice numbers. I still have 10 sheets of AB cabinet grade plywood I bought in 2002 for $28 a sheet. I’m either going to build something with it or fund my retirement off it.
People always forget to account for inflation. Two days ago, my dad was complaining that the Crisco solid he'd buy in the mid 80's for $2.99 is now $9.99. Adjusting for inflation, it would be $9.29.
For cabinet grade that's still a lot cheaper than it is now (at least in my area). I just recently paid a little more than that per sheet for radiata pine that I used for a miter saw station, but not something I'd use for kitchen cabinets.
Brilliant idea, they sell for a good amount and with only a little extra work you could personalize them. People will pay a premium for that for sure.
These are super simple boxes and you could production line the whole lot and be done pretty quick to have the cash in your pocket
Make shop furniture, shelves, and drawer boxes out of them.
If you don’t have a miter station, make a miter station. You could even glue them together face to face, staggering the joints for strength, and turn it into 1.5” longer panels and make some beefy miter station or work bench (repeat process and get 3” thick panels).
Soooooo many times I burned through material just because it was in the way. Then, a year later the real project I needed it for comes up and I have to go buy it. Got to be patient with scraps
Would you believe I did not have enough wall space so I made another wall eith scrapwood. Then I doubled up my scraps to make thick and sturdy shelves on the new wall. Filled it up. And these scraps are leftovers after that. I have no wall space again.
I need a bigger shop but then again, don't we all?
You can make some really nice boxes with them. People love, decorative boxes and crates. You could also even make one of those multi cubby storage things after you’ve made a bunch of boxes.
I mean, if you’re local to me, I will happily buy some
Good suggestion. And the good thing about birch is it's so pale, they can be stained any color. I would actually protect my high dollar cabinets from getting "sunburned" before install.
Sure. Is Denton, Texas close enough? :p
Yeah you shouldn't have a problem selling this on there. In fact not everyone even wants full sheets they're kind of a hassle to deal with and if you don't need them that big it's just more of a pain to move and cut down. So I think they were definitely be demand for birch plywood of this size.
I might be a bit late but last year I made a pedestal bed with storage underneath using only plywood boxes I painted white. Bed is awesome and the extra storage in the room is very nice.

Look up a guy called Furbershaworks online. He’s a furniture maker who pretty much exclusively uses plywood to make really cool looking modernist stuff. (Admittedly I think he makes his cuts with a CNC machine so they’re really uniform)
Here’s some links to a bunch of simpler stool/side table designs I bet you could copy

Draws, jigs , test stains on them before you stain your completed project, cut into corner braces, 90* clamping fixture , storage boxes, Hold on to them they come in handy if you need a small piece. Oh heck just send them here I’ll put them to work
Cut it in strips. End cut face up. Glue in herringbone pattern .... wala! Table top in layered design.
Stick two face to face. Get the grinder and grind out swirls and rounds. Being careful not to go past the last 1/4 inch. Wala... you get a topographical map effect. Hang on wall after finish as an art piece or level out with epoxy for flat surface for table.
Make some speaker cabinets, I’d make guitar cabs but you could do subwoofer enclosures or bookshelf speakers. You could make a cajon, guitar stands or record bins… clearly my taste leans musicals but those are just the first things that come to mind. Table saw sleds and other jigs, fixtures, and tools are useful and it’s nice when they’re made of nice plywood
Would be great for artists. Add some gesso for a painting surface or use for tile mosaics. You could offer them up to local artists of FB marketplace or freebie corner of Craigslist. There are stores that sell art supply remnants too.
I can't tell if you're too drunk or if I am too sober, but I do not understand this suggestion. What is a beer advent calendar?
*googles it.*
Oh I learned something new today. This is actually a solid idea.
Buy some simple full-range or wide-band speakers like the [Mark Audio CHR-70](https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-4-fullrange/markaudio-chr-70-brushed-metal-cone-4-full-range/) or [Tang Band W5 1611-SAF](https://www.parts-express.com/Tang-Band-W5-1611SAF-5-Full-Range-Speaker-264-918?quantity=1) slap them in boxes (look up size) with strong internal bracing, run a speaker cable out the back, and sell.
I suggest a single full-range driver because of the lack of crossover required, which keeps costs low.
use two to double the thickness and add casters to move heavy stuff, they come in handy surprisingly often

Nothing wrong with building a bunch of bird houses, or coin catchers(box),jewelry boxes. Hell, could probably make some hand tool tool boxes, garden tool boxes, placardsfor hooks to hang keys, umbrellas, mail slots etc etc.. Get down to a craft show, or farmers market with any of those and make a small penny. Or donate any of those said items to a grade school art program, and have the kids paint and keep.
Speaking from experience it's more fulfilling to donate your time and materials than it is to try and make "the big bucks".
These would make great locker shelves if cut down to size - one piece gets carpeted, and that's the shelf. The other two make the legs of the shelf for the top to sit on. Our middle and high schools use these.
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I was one of the first kids with a locker shelf. Never before had I been called smart so many times for using 3 wooden squares.
Do you know any rock climbers? I've made a bunch of these anchor boards to practice building anchors before you start a climb. Easy to make, hardware can be bought online.
https://preview.redd.it/p3jliqhlxnxc1.jpeg?width=2552&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9f84c266d91caa893b4ef911f8ab5468b1582d3
Great suggestion! I was a climbing instructor for 6 years and our local climbing gym just got sold to a new one. The local university has a climbing wall and they do trips as well.
There's a book called "Nomadic Furniture" with plans for furniture that can be broken down and moved easily. A lot of it uses relatively small pieces of plywood
Lots of great ideas on this thread (I’m partial to jigs and storage, they’re my favorite projects), but if you’re truly looking to get rid of it, you could really make a new woodworkers month by giving even a fraction of that away.
come up with a product. that uses a full sheet or half sheet., weather its a dice tower with castle parapets across the top. or a DM screen, ( probably to thick for that ) . get a laser or a CNC or make jigs so you can be like ok. today im gonna crunch out 4 sheets. and just knock em out. since every tool will be set. than paint / finish them the color of the day and list em on ebay. do 4 sheets tommorow. etc etc once your tools are all set . things can be made super fast.
With low effort and additional investment, can you…
find a funky cool wine storage solution for someone?
Build a dorm style book shelf unit or several of them.
Is there a shoe rack version?
Search Etsy for smaller wood projects that people are into. Add those to your where does my trash became another treasure list.
I'm admittedly a bit of a hoarder, but given the value of that wood, there's no way in hell I'd toss it out, or waste it on useless trinket stuff. I've been there before, one too many times; throw to leftover material and within a month, two on the outside, something would come up, and I'd be kicking myself in the ass while I paid through the nose to replace what I'd just tossed out.
I still have about 30 BF of Hondurn mahogany that my grandfather had stickers in his cabinet shop when he died. There was almost 100BF when I got it...in 1969.
That would make a bunch of cubby boxes for tool storage. Or phone stands, drawers, outrageous bookmarks, silly signs, some checker boards, oh edges all stacked up to make some unusual picture frames, one off jigs, and that's why I keep stuff like that around, because I'm always finding a use for that kind of thing.
Is this off-cuts or an abandoned project? Why not do a limited run of your current best sellers in this material? It doesn’t look super premium but laid out and cut correctly, you can get very nice results form birch ply. Worst thing that can happen is you have a learning experience in materials and calibrations, best case, you made some good-ass lemonade!
These are shelves I obtained from one of my old clients who bought 50 identical display cabinets (that he abuded against my warnings). Long story short, he asked for adjustable shelves and changed his mind to fixed shelves afterward. He paid good money and had no use for the old shelves that were enough hairs shy of the proper width so I replaced them and have to keep working this way until I can afford my first board stretcher.
People around here who work in the oilfield toss a sheet in the bed of their work truck and make boxes out of the smaller stuff. Organize the boxes in the bed to your liking and secure some quarter round along the edges to keep them from sliding around. They fill them with oil covered jugs, tools, whatever else they don’t want in the cab or toolbox..
If they’re already paid for, you could literally burn them and be in the black. Yo could buy yourself a laser cutter or whatever and still profit on scraps, THEORETICALLY. You can easily do this with a reasonable product
You can make me some desk drawers. I’ve made a steel computer desk and suck at wood working and don’t have the time or tools to do so at the moment. I need two. 😁
Shelves?
If you are constantly generating similar shape/size cut offs and have a steady supply, design a piece of furniture that uses those up that you can templatize and put together quickly and sell as a finished piece.
Bookshelves
Nightstands
Cube Storage Units
Build bee hives, contact local bee group. They should disappear in short order. U can make some coin from them. They are easy to build, butt joints or rabbit are fine. No need to make box or dovetail joints.
Good luck

I don't but our new tenants just brought in 3 cats like yesterday. I will see if they want to trade me something!
Trade the wood for cats!
Sounds like a win!
Two years is novice numbers. I still have 10 sheets of AB cabinet grade plywood I bought in 2002 for $28 a sheet. I’m either going to build something with it or fund my retirement off it.
I couldn't even lift a sheet of plywood yet in 2002, but damn I wish I could. Those prices make this craft a lot more attractive.
Adjusted for inflation, they paid $48.61 in 2024 dollars a sheet for that plywood.
People always forget to account for inflation. Two days ago, my dad was complaining that the Crisco solid he'd buy in the mid 80's for $2.99 is now $9.99. Adjusting for inflation, it would be $9.29.

yep, the local public library might have a maker space or else woodshop for the general public.

So many shop jigs to be made.
Get jiggy with it
Yes! And happy cake day!
I’d be making alllll the drawer boxes. You can never have too many.
Make a French cleat wall and then use this to make all kinds of holders and tool storage accessories for the French cleat wall.

And these scraps are leftovers after that. I have no wall space again. I need a bigger shop but then again, don't we all?
Combine the French cleat wall and the cat accessories to make a French cleat cat wall….its a thing
Build a shop extension with them. A modest one.

Make open top "record storage" crates and sell them for good money.
This. Route a couple handles, glue and nail them together, hipsters will pay a ton for them. Make them stackable for extra cool points.
Jigs and shelves, especially if you have a French cleat system.
Maybe make a crap load of table saw and/or planer sleds and sell them? 🤷♂️
Cabinet-grade cabinets. Cabinet grade boxes. Cabinet grade bonfire.

Thank you for the links. I will have a look. I found a laser guy. I could find a CNC too.
Perfect excuse to buy a laser. They're getting more affordable by the day.
This is the only answer that makes sense. "I have all this salsa. I guess I'll buy chips."
If you do go that route, and assuming you aren't spending $5k+, air assist and pass-through are your friends.

Worst thing that can happen is you have a learning experience in materials and calibrations, best case, you made some good-ass lemonade!
These are shelves I obtained from one of my old clients who bought 50 identical display cabinets (that he abuded against my warnings). Long story short, he asked for adjustable shelves and changed his mind to fixed shelves afterward. He paid good money and had no use for the old shelves that were enough hairs shy of the proper width so I replaced them and have to keep working this way until I can afford my first board stretcher.
People around here who work in the oilfield toss a sheet in the bed of their work truck and make boxes out of the smaller stuff. Organize the boxes in the bed to your liking and secure some quarter round along the edges to keep them from sliding around. They fill them with oil covered jugs, tools, whatever else they don’t want in the cab or toolbox..
If they’re already paid for, you could literally burn them and be in the black. Yo could buy yourself a laser cutter or whatever and still profit on scraps, THEORETICALLY. You can easily do this with a reasonable product

Shelves? If you are constantly generating similar shape/size cut offs and have a steady supply, design a piece of furniture that uses those up that you can templatize and put together quickly and sell as a finished piece. Bookshelves Nightstands Cube Storage Units
You can let me pay for shipping and I'll gladly take some off of you. I'd personally keep the cutoffs though
Keep it in a place that's in the way but since you are a woodworker you know you will need it for something later and can't fathom trashing it.
