This month’s speaker is Brian Bond, PhD, a professor from VA Tech, who serves as a professor and extension specialist in the area of wood products. Dr. Bond previously spoke to us on wood identification and, in our first Zoom session in May of 2020, discussed the interaction of wood and water.
This time he will speak to us about composites: How they are made, the differences between each in regard to what it is made from, the adhesives used, the uses, dimensional stability, quality, and limitations.
For example, why use MDF instead of particle board?
What is the difference between pine plywood B/C and hardwood plywood for your furniture projects?
Which is better for kitchen cabinet framing? Plywood, particle board or MDF and why?
