Find a forum for the "Good Eats"show on food network, or for Alton Brown, the host of the show. He did a show on smoking meat using sawdust to generate smoke. Let people know you've got hardwood sawdust available (not plywood, treated wood, or pine), and you can probably sell it. I bet you could get $0.50 to $1.00 a pound.

What i do with my left over sawdust is to usually mix it with some mud and use it as a facial. It is great for making your skin fell soft. I recommend it to anyone who has dry and sensitive skin.

if you are short on stuffing and plentiful on saw dust you can stuff pillows with it. just make sure the pillow doesn't get wet (*very* flammable)
Sawdust from your latest wood-working project can be mixed into your garden soil and will compost itself.By Linda (This idea isn't as good as it sounds - the sawdust actually robs soil of nitrogen until fully decomposed.)
for areas that get snow..use untreated wood shavings for traction on sidewalks etc. better for the plants than using salt products.

I have a small farm which include chickens. I recently started using cedar chips and found a friend who has a saw mill. he gives me his sawdust and wood chips for my chickens. You have to be careful when using around baby chicks but once old enough to know the difference between food and the shavings...it makes a great smelling pen, plus keeps them toasty warm in this freezing weather.

you can fill the wells of an egg carton with sawdust and cover with wax, when wax is set you then cut apart each "egg spot" and use them to help start fires......great homemade gift idea for people who have fireplaces......

You can use the sawdust to make 'snow'. Mix it with paint and paint it onto ornaments ect. How big are the wood chips? Could you not make them into something? Like maybe decoupage a picture on the smooth part of the wood? Hope this helps.
My husband and I have been generating lots of sawdust and wood chips. I gather it all in the vacuum then empty the vacuum into my planters and the garden. Makes really good mulch and looks great.By Verue
