Scrap mount board.
I have a regular habit of putting my small pieces of mountboard in a box and put it outside the shop with a sign saying free to good homes, and it’s much appreciated by local schools, artists & crafters alike it’s also good for business.
So one guy called in today with a big box & said “I just thought you’d like to see what I do with your free board” took it out & plonked it on my worktop so I just had to take a picture

Amazing
Re: Scrap mount board.
That is brilliant.
Most of mine has gone to the local Greengrocers for signs. King Edwards 1/6d a pound.
Local schools/therapy groups can sometimes make use. Warn them about the sharp edges.

Awesome - you should send this pic to Art + Framing Today. I'm sure they would print it!
And also add it to the discussion on https://www.facebook.com/groups/393302711109534/
The FRAMERS ONLY Face Book site where there was a long discussion about what to do with waste fall outs.

Re: Scrap mount board.
Amazing - imagine what he could do with your scrap mouldings!
BTW, I trust this was done with conservation mountboard

How about giving the guy some old moulding chevrons for roof trusses.

Sorry, Keith, I can't find that discussion Perhaps you would be kind enough to post any new ideas put forward, as I'm sure I am not the only framer who finds mountboard generates the highest waste of all the materials we use.
Thanks in advance.
Peter.

Re: Scrap mount board.
Ricky, is there an interior to it? He might ask you to do some postage stamp-sized frames (wouldn't fancy cutting mounts for those)
