Bombarde16 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Not that crazy. The key is the bundle of twigs cast into some sort of resin. Once that's cast, you can machine it like anything else and then orient it so that the end grain shows. Trick is that the boards have a border around them. This presumes that things get laminated onto a stable substrate (ply, MDF, etc.) see Marc's "Humble Pie" episode for why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
