Post a CommentI personnally will not use it unless it is the cedar variety for my dry closets. I use plywood instead on all my other applications. Wood chips can be recycled by being turned into steam in steam plants. This steam then provides power to homes and businesses. We have one of these clean and environmentally friendly plants up the street from us. As far as I am concerned that is a much better use of non-cedar wood chips, but that is just my opinion.
Yes, that is correct. Sorry about the typo. I was thinking about the fact that most of the oriented strand board or osb sold in America is from China when I wrote this so maybe that is how that word came from my head. Either way, some people love it and some hate it. It is very environmentally friendly, being made from wood particles glued together. However, under extreme moisture it tends to seperate and peel apart.
"oriented" strand board, not oriental.
