MettleWood product is made by removing lignin, a natural “glue” that holds the cells together, and extremely compressing the remaining wood to create a robust and rust-free structural material. Besides strength, another advantage of the product over conventional wood construction material is that many species can be used.

EDIT:
Watched the first 3 minutes of the 11 minute video, looks promising.
I gather this is a technology not an actual product I can go out and buy, correct?
I'll have to finish the video later, hoping to see some curved shapes, arches, circles and so forth.
I bet it's not easy to cut and drill.
