Superwood.

Wood stronger than steel. Lighter too.

Warning: be prepared for Charlie to make a risky comment. 😁

10x better strength to weight ratio than steel, locks away carbon, fire resistant. 20x stronger than conventional wood, 20x the stiffness, termite, fire and moisture resistant... amazing stuff.

30 million square feet annualy to be made. Mass production starts this year, for building materials.

I can see this being useful for the car and aircraft industry.

We're all thinking it let's be honest!

 

Looks impressive could be a game cahnger if costs can be competitive.

Okay Charlie, glad you finally kicked it off.  Having been a carpenter for 20 years and now a 70 yr old man, I can truly appreciate super wood.  Daily Cialis works well too😉 I can see this thread being 10 pages of irreverence.  That's a good thread.

Just think of it lads... wooden cars, wooden planes to make a comeback. We Brits might even abandon our favorite cavity wall brick construction houses and build superwood houses. 😄

We are already calling people guys, and asking if we can "get" a coffee instead of "have" a coffee and saying "hi" instead of "hello." Thus, with the adoption of wooden houses our Americanization will be complete. 

Awesome, dude! 😁

But no.... we steadfastly refuse to call our favourite body parts structural transition after a tree.

On a serious note... I see this product making a big impact. They are moving into mass production so the cost should drop substantially. 

Steel RSJ's replaced with superwood, perhaps?
