    Chipboard's finer particles, mostly resin & higher pressure.
    OSB's OSB here too. Mostly glued, and disappointing. I've come to hate the hand-ripping hipster-bar-bollocks throwaway stuff.

    Anyway.o_O

    Weird little WW2 3 part colour film on shifting to making rifle stocks at the facilities of Morris Furnishings in Glasgow:
    WOOD GOES TO WAR [Main Title]

    Such a shame there's no sound, but it is what it is,
    Looks like Morris 'might' still be in business.

    I just ran across this, and it reminded of something I read once, don't recall the details, but I think it was one of the old English universities. One of the old buildings, probably a church, was in need of renovation, but after centuries of logging and deforestation, they could no longer find the size of timbers needed to replace the originals. Eventually someone asked the groundskeeper for help, and he revealed that in a far corner of the property there was a grove of oaks that had been planted when the church was built, 600 years earlier, and tended ever since in the knowledge that they would eventually be needed.
