got any good ideas on what to do with 150(approx) mahogany spindles???

So our AG pool developed a tear and we're going to take it down.

I'm in the process of dismantling the mahogany deck I built 20-ish years ago. The railing spindles are 1 3/8'squaremahogany spindles. They have a screw hole at the top and one at the bottom and the clear span between is approx 32". I ran one through the planer on one side to see what it looks like once the clear finish is removed and it's the sweet, red mahogany color.

I hate to trash wood (I've got the "Hey, I'll use this piece someday" disease), so I've got about 150 of them now. What to do with them? I'm open to suggestions

I thought about squaring them up (they have rounded corners when I bought them) and making some end grain cutting boards but I would think they would be nicer with a contrasting wood, which I don't have.

Anyone need any spindles? For you, great price.....$1.50/spindle....very good deal.

I also have about 150 ft of 2x4 (in various lengths) in mahogany too. Next up, I'll be taking off the mahogany 1x6 deck boards. I'd guess about 25-300 sq ft of that. And I plugged each hole with, yep you guessed it, a mahogany plug. About 1000 of the plugs to remove and then unscrew the boards.Anyone need any decking boards???

Anyone own and use a Logan 440-1 Team System Plus for cutting the mat windows?

I was given a bunch of mat boards and am wondering if this system is good enough to cut a clean, square, beveled window.

Appreciate your feedback.
