Two of these new products, recently featured at the Mass Timber Conference in Portland, Oregon, lie at opposite ends of a spectrum: StructureCraft's Dowel Laminated Timber panel, which cuts out nearly all
glues and resins, and Freres Lumber's Mass Plywood Panel, which utilizes
wood veneers
instead of whole lumber and relies on much more resin than typical CLT.
I used a 4 ″ round piece of flat craft
wood from Hobby Lobby on the underside of my big Pyrex plate
instead of just
gluing the lamp directly to the plate.
