Wood shavings are thin, curly pieces of wood that are produced when wood is cut or shaped. They are often created by woodworking tools like planers and chisels. These shavings can vary in size and thickness, depending on the type of wood and the tool used. Wood shavings are commonly used for various purposes, including animal bedding, mulch in gardens, and as a material for crafts. They can also be used in the production of particle board and wood pellets, making them a versatile byproduct in the woodworking industry.
