154 fore;st coMMissioNiiR s report. 



that paper birch waste is turned into handles, cork caps, spools, 

 and a great variety of articles. Novelty mills using paper 

 birch and other hardwoods, report the manufacture of waste 

 into small handles, novelty turnings, package handles and 

 dowels. 



In a furniture factory short pieces of oak went into small 

 stands. In one place knife and fork trays were made from 

 basswood and other hardwoods. Sloyd schools were supplied 

 with mahogany from the waste piles of fixture factories. 

 Dowels are extensively made from white ash and small hammer 

 handles are made from white and red oak and white ash. Ma- 

 ple, yellow birch, and beech bobbin waste is used in making 

 novelties and sugar maple goes into shovel handles.
