in need of small project idea with exotic woods

You could probably find an intarsia project to do, or a ton of pens on the lathe, or save them as accent pieces for bigger projects, or resaw into thinner and make some nice small boxes. Seems like a bit of a waste to just make something to use the wood up, rather than waiting for a project to come along that fits the wood.

And then there is this magical 4-dimensional piece: 1 piece of Bubinga that is 11 1/2” by 7” by 1”by 3/4”

I updated the post lol. Thanks. I do not have a lathe or scroll saw. I was thinking of something other than cutting boards.

Why don’t you make jewelry boxes? They are fairly easy and quick to make.

Zebra wood sides and a Wenge top is a great combination. If you are interested in trading some of your Zebra wood for Wenge, then let me know.

start a small production of hand tools (try squares, bevel & marking gauges, tracing knives etc.), they look too good made with those exotic woods.

see the “under my thumb” project by shopdog. I made a bunch of them with cutoffs.

These guys are 11 inches long x 6 1/2 inches wide…your 1/2 inch thick wood would look right at home sitting on the kitchen counter with an ipad mini sitting on it.
