I despise wood and it annoys me that we're still building everything with it.
You are working with raw wood, not an engineered product.

Densified wood gives junk wood a walnut-like grain. See the I-beam in the thumbnail?

This last week at BRING, they had 4x8 sheets of 1/4" plywood with an AA front face. I haven't seen plywood like that since the 1970s, perfect to sandblast and raise the grain. Four each at $20 (before the veterans discount) -- I just wanted to take them home and hoard them.
