Wood shavings is the waste obtained when wood is shaped or planed using carpentry tools or machines like planers and milling machines. Wood shavings do not have a fixed size or shape. Generally they are flat thin curls that peel off the surface of wood when it is run through a planning machine or planer. They are soft and pile up well into huge heaps. Piles of wood shavings have a cushioning effect.
