I was killing time before my movie started this evening by doing a little
window shopping and saw something new: fake "thinply" edgebanding on retail
shelving!

In otherwords, plastic edgebanding with thinply-like banding and color was
added to retail shelving to get that industrial, avant guard look. Funny
that plywood is considered a luxury material now!

Plywood *is* a luxury material. It doesn't expand or contract like
solid wood panels, and it looks just as good. I'd bet the old masters
would have loved to get their hands on it. With a face frame, it's
superior in many ways to solid timbers.

Particle-board covered in con-tac paper is an entirely different
story, of course. I'd rather laminate sheets of construction paper
together than use that crap for anything I make.
