Like many woodworkers I know, I find it difficult to throw away scrap wood, specially if they're exotic hardwood. Typically they're small pieces; so one should make small projects out of them. Here, the species is marble wood.
I cut thin slices so I can clad more of them over a common hardwood - oak in this case. Also, oak is a lot easier to drill into than marble wood.
Drilling into end grain (below) of oak is easier than had it been into marble wood.
Each block is a pencil holder. Purely for aesthetic reasons I cut them to different lengths and glued them to a configuration that, while solely subjective, would be just as pleasing (or not boring, anyway).
