The Glowforge will be able to cut extremely small and detailed game tokens and pieces. I can imagine getting several different kind s of 1/8 inch hardwood and make really cool armies of different shapes.
Here are the offcuts. Just hate to toss them.

When I first started lasering things I was like that. Pretty soon the pile got too big to be ignored and I realized I wasnāt really ever going to do anything with them (and a lot of those odd sized pieces of material I figured Iād use for some small part or another and never did). It all went to feed the pizza oven fire gods

I know what you mean. Both my father and grandfather collected all sorts of odds-and-ends greeblies for potential future use.

If you want to find a use for them, throw them away.
Usually within a week of punting something to the landfill that I have been keeping for years - there arises an application that would have been perfect.
Or is mine the only universe that defaults that way?

Given the thread title, I was pleasantly surprised that you were not looking to see if all of your bad luck carried over to the new year by doing something risky.

The risky part is making a set of armies on the laser that I may or may not find lodged in my foot shortly after (see Legoās)

Please, please, please donāt use Legos as a plural of Lego.
āLegoā or āLego bricksā is the plural. A Lego Brick is the singular.
This seems to be a peculiarly American habit for some reason.
Edit
Official word on the Lego Plural Debate from the @LEGO_Group Neither Lego nor Legos it seems: 'Please go with āLEGO bricksā or āLEGO sets.ā

Iām still going to say, as well as promote the use of, the word āLegosā as the plural of āLego.ā Thanks for trying though! I do appreciate the effort! 
I will also continue to eat Eggos and never ever ever call them Eggo brand waffles.

yeah but LEGO bricks is so much more awkward. the big reason they donāt want people to pluralize it is that it makes it much easier to lose control of the trademark through genericization.
normal people are always going to say legos.

I stand corrected.
I get amused ( apparently it irritates you 
) that major sport teams do that. In my state we have/had;
The Colorado Buffaloes
The Colorado Carribous

I donāt think āLegosā is so much an american habit. I was living in germany when I learned it. Something more than half a century ago.
The current horse wasnāt even born in that barnā¦
