When you hear "Solid wood", how do you interpret that? (lemmy.world)

Do you include things like particle board, MDF, plywood etc? Is there a line? And if so, what is it for you?

not mdf, not plywood, solid tree, no glues.

I would accept boards glued together on an axis other than the thickness. So plywood, no, finger jointed wood, yes.

I donno, Ikea can do wonders with floor sweepings and Elmers.

No glues? So a glued panel wouldn't be solid wood?

Start with an old growth tree and run it through your 5axis cnc for the only true woodworking

Hmm. Good point. Technically, no, but most people would say yes. I think most people mean no glue in the base components, not in the assembly.
