We're still working on this aspect, but the ideal situation is to allow you to turn these bits of scrap in to Buck (not into Buck), who can use them toward increasing your carryable inventory capacity or perhaps even to restore some durability to other items (or add more to those rare weapons with low durability).

Having said this, I guess the aethetic goal would in the end help you to decide, if you want to accept a lower durability for a wider choice of design options, or if you have to go for a durable finish for the sake of using the piece in a certain environment. (canarystreetcrafts.com)
