I've been thinking a lot about materials lately...specifically of the timber variety and how wondrous and splendiferous nature's bounty is in bestowing upon us all the varieties of wood from the silvery-white, marble-like quality of rippled sycamore to the deep, dark exotic richness of Wenge. But for some unknown reason, the one material that keeps popping-up in my head is plywood. Yup, good old manufactured timber. For me, there's just something so aesthetically pleasing about the clean and simple, almost industrial-rawness of this material. I even love the look of the sandwiched layers of veneers...kind of reminds me of wafers! The great news is that it's very workable, has great eco-credentials and it's actually very cheap! The last factor being particularly revelatory as I have been known by certain people (ahem Mr.P) to have expensive tastes! So yay all round to plywood! I need to think up some projects to use this wonderful material soon...but for the time being I'll leave you with some very drool-worthy uses of plywood...
...and last but not least, something I totally love and believe is completely essential in every home...
...now that's what I call hap-Ply ever after!
