I have hundreds of these little wood pieces. They're about 1/4" thick and 2"x4". Any ideas what I can do with them?? Thanks!

These are pretty much all the same size.

You could use a wood burner and design a picture on them, burn it in and make ornaments

You could sand the edges and stain them for a table runner, similar to this http://www.hometalk.com/diy/craft/centerpieces/diy-table-runner-from-scrap-wood-video-tutorial-2643542...

You could easily make a mosaic looking type of mirror. Stained in different colors would be stunning! http://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=s...

  I was thinking of stenciling letters onto them and using them for signs, either on a differently colored wood board or perhaps a muslin or burlap piece of fabric...
