Straw Lumber Promises Substitute For Timber Shortage
The American Architect reports straw lumber as a viable finishing material and substitute for pine or walnut. It can be produced in 32x12 inch boards, flexible to orders, and finished with varnish or paint. Straw boards are water and fire resistant, nail and screw well, and weigh about one fifth as much as walnut when dry. A ton of straw yields 1,600 ft of board, with potential for large scale production as the U.S. remains a grain-producing nation.
