pine shavings

Planed conifer scraps

Pine shavings are thin curls of pine wood produced by planing or shaving lumber.

They serve primarily as animal bedding—absorbent, aromatic, and disposable: We spread fresh pine shavings in the rabbit hutch.

The natural oils give off a distinctive scent that helps mask odors.

Pine shavings also appear in packaging as cushioning material and in gardening as mulch.
