Dumpster diving

The ongoing construction project resulted in a fair number of scrap 2 x 10s appearing in the dumpster in the parking lot.  Average length was not quite 28 inches.  My first thought (of course) was "Those would be handy for building a bookcase."  (I have that reaction to just about every piece of scrap lumber I spot.)  Second thought was:

The S.O. has fabricated two benches so far, and there's enough material to do a couple more.  Plant stands, end tables, extra seating. . . multiple possible uses.
