My scrap wood  "assortment" would fill about 6 to 10 of those.

I think I need to be more, uh, "selective" in choosing which offcuts and
scraps to keep...

For the shed I was in, I used one side exclusively for wood storage.  I had
a storage cart I built that held all the offcut pieces with a overhang on
the back for larger sheet goods.  On the studs behind it, I hung large hooks
all the way across in two rows and stacked up the long boards there.

The plans for the storage cart I built are here:

I put casters on mine, and extended a lip on the bottom of the base that
overhung the back by about 5 inches, then added a small vertical peices to
help hold the sheet goods.

Good luck with your space!
