Sawdust

It's perhaps an indication of the abject weather we've been experiencing in Britain this cricket season, but the frequent appearance of the sawdust bucket for drying the bowlers' run-ups has led me on occasion to ruminate upon whether these slivers of fun-sized water-absorbing goodness are produced as a by-product of carpentry companies or manufactured specially for the purpose?

Admittedly it's not a question worth losing too much sleep over, but does anyone have an idea?!

Surely they can't be manufactured specifically? But the shavings do seem remarkably uniform? I think that means I don't know either....

Nice photo! Probably a bit excessive for a cricket club though, even with this wet summer...
