We're using this in signs and immersed industrial applications and are going to test it in boat construction.

The price in my local lumberyard is $27.01/sheet

1. Really interesting stuff, jeff.

I've been wondering for awhile about the OSB world we now live in - if millions of homes aren't just going to un-laminate someday.

This is too expensive to replace that in wall and roof construction, I'm guessing for now.

But I have to wonder if you haven't shown us the future!

2. It might be a high-end choice for house sheeting, but I think it has a lot of applications.

3x the cost of osb or about 2x the cost of cdx. Practically impervious to bugs. No glues or formaldehyde, it'd be very tempting to use it for everything.

In my area is is virtually impossible to comply with the manufacturers directive to keep OSB dry during construction.

3. I've seen those OSB piles getting grey around the edges!

I guess I'm thinking ahead to a time when something like this is mass-manufactured all over the country - I wonder how far down that price could come?
