Someone posted this over on the festool forum and I watched and thought it was very interesting. It’s amazing how a chance encounter can spawn a product and be eco-friendly. It’s also interesting to what lenghts organizations will go to to stop something as well. Of course the vid is produced by the company so it’s only one side so I don’t take it as gospel on all counts but it is an interesting story.

Another thanks for posting that. Sure beats the attitude and products coming from a certain overseas country (starts with "C").
I will be going out of my way to source ply from CFP.

I guess I had a unfair advantage with living in the Pacific Northwest, having most of my elders working in the plywood mills. I had a chance to get my hands on Columbia's Non Toxic Plywood a while back. Now I will not have anything else in my shop. It would be nice if all products had to be made non toxic along the same lines as Pure Bond.
If you go to the Columbia web site they will gladly send out literature and samples of their product. Great company to work with, and it supports our economy here at home.
Enjoy,

Columbia Forest Products is the primary supplier of plywood products to the local big boxes near me. They also supplied the big boxes in the NYC area. As I think I heard, California is is passing--or has passed--regulations limiting or prohibiting any toxic fumes from composition materials used in home construction.Of course, most of the best decorative plywood comes from smaller producers who are the least likely to be able to comply with the new regulations.Howie.........
