Naming Issue: Plane dust?

[jorb]

If I use a plane to smoothen a board, the byproduct is called what? In Swedish you would say "hyvelspån", composite of "hyvel" (plane) and "spån" (?). The word "dust" comes to me because the corresponding Swedish word for "sawdust" would be "sågspån", composite of "såg" (saw) and "spån" (?).

"Spån" in Swedish is a generic word for a small piece of (primarily wood) byproduct from planing, sawing or filing. It can also be used as an invective describing a stupid person. What would you of the Northwest-German persuasion say?

Scraps. Wood curls.

If it's an actual powder, then sawdust.

I've even heard the term "ribbons" used.

[jorb]

Wood curls. That's a good one! Thanks!

I should also add "shavings" to there. Wood shavings is another common term for them.

[Potjeh]

I think shavings would be the correct term.

[jorb]

That's a good one too. That I should actually have thought of.

[Kearn]

shavings, curls... that's what i had in mind already

isn't there another word for that, though?

wood chips, perhaps?

On the game that he's currently working on.

I think shavings would be the correct term.

I think chips would also work.
