As a re-org'd all my stock the other week I came across these two boards. They are actually veneered chipboard so dont really have much inherent strength of their own and of course no end grain, hence why they have been sitting around.
I showed them to LOML this evening and we realized that they are now 25 years old. I bought the sheet and made these as shelves for our first apartment just after we got married. As we have lived in the US for nearly 10 years now and I know they werent installed in our last UK house they must have been in either a damp wet English garage or my 100 degree+ Arizona one for over 18 years. Amazingly they are still perfectly flat and straight
The grain pattern, as you can see is, is pretty dramatic. The question is what should I do with them? As you can see they have some great nostalgia attached to them so something special would be nice.
I thought I would throw my inspiration to you folks and see what great ideas come up. Possible prize (or maybe just kudos) to the winning idea
