Log cabin restoration… part 12
Here we have the best of both worlds, the old and the new.
Plywood is an amazing material, perhaps the only modern material that carpenters of old would have been impressed with and likely have used themselves if it had been available.
It’s such a great material that most builders today don’t use it… go figure.
Chip board is much cheaper… which are sheets of material the same size as plywood and are made from glue and wood pulp. If, or should I say when, this glue ever starts to fail, most houses built today will quickly turn into piles of bio-hazard mulch.
