The materials I use in my projects are those typically associated with traditional woodworking and construction. I am not opposed to adopting something more contemporary if it serves a particular goal or appears fit for use in the long term.

Thoughts on plywood and other 'board' products

Instability of wood

board and batten and panels in frames

egyptian veneering and plywood

stable panels

aside on 'truss uplift'

osb, flakeboard, mdf, and other composites

labor biggest expense

system construction, capital expense vs. labor expense

repairability and disposability

Materials defined

• HPDL High Pressure Decorative Laminate
• pivot hinges
• magnetic latches
• low voltage halogen fixtures
• concealed self-closing hinges
• butt hinges

yet more text on the same train of thought

second Subheading

...wood as an agricultural product...links to agriculture and stainability conclusions or digression from content above which eventually returns to the theme or opens a third subheading or reaches a concluding subheading
