Keith Black Posted May 5, 2021 Share #3 Posted May 5, 2021 I don't know that more uses for wood is a good idea?

Plastic waste can be clear and doesn't have a wood grain. Not suitable for window replacements. Let's chop down another tree, instead. 🤪 mtaylor, Keith Black and davyboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted May 6, 2021 Well, if they can make it out scrap or sawdust, than it's actually a renewable resource. The question I have is what's created and needs disposal when they make these panels. bruce d, Keith Black and davyboy 3 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
