Super Wood!

I think I've mentioned this before, but it looks like it's going to be a revolutionary material, to me. Awesome for the building industry. I'm wondering if it could be used in the aircraft industry given its strength and low weight?

Yeah, I watched a video about this a few weeks ago.  Stronger than steel, they claim.  Amazing.

I wish my house had been built with this stuff!

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Once upon a time, many city and commercial buildings were constructed of wood.  The issue was fire.  Wood burns, steel and aluminum do not.  This is an interesting concept, but what about fire resistance?

Highway 175  between Dallas and Cedar Creek Lake.  I passed this every day on my commute.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

I remember Super Wood when I was in my twenties.

No, seriously.  I remember the advent of the laminated beams for home construction.  Made a big difference.

And you all thought I was going somewhere else with this😉
