Re: Lignin fiber matrix (wood) as a chassis material

Wood is well used in small boats & small airplanes were weight & strength is important. Lots of good information can be found by Google. West marine is one source among many. It is amazing how strong a joint is made by laying over a strip of fiberglass & epoxy.

One wood bot is kinda weird.
Two wood bots is a cult.
Three wood bots is a revolution
