Not quite right, but you get the picture.

What about after W350? People will be pining for the good old days..
Got wood?
Wow you posted that and I just realized it was a different article than I read last night when I sent out my emails... It was much shorter blurb and did not even mention the steel.
Steel rigid frames are the only possible way I know of... Makes a little more sense now though.
Wood is a green, renewable resource.
Until it burns.
...
How soon they forget.
The Operation Meetinghouse firebombing of Tokyo on the night of 9 March 1945 was the single deadliest air raid of World War II, greater than Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima, or Nagasaki as single events.
Laz always says he's happiest when he has wood.
Those crazy Japanese.
But they interrupt Raiders games.
Om the other hand, it will be really great for a future 70's style disaster movie.
No, a pagoda is not quite that high. There are some modern buildings that incorporate pagoda design elements. They do tend to burn. Lightning strike fires.

“In fact, only two Japanese pagodas in the last 1400 years, the pair at Todai-ji temple, are known to have actually collapsed from shaking alone.”
Not quite right, but you get the picture.
I’m almost sure this is that new “Densified Wood”.
They take out the lignin —the part that makes wood brown— and then they bake in some Pexiglass stuff.
The result is so strong that the military considered it as cheap ARMOR.
Even auto makers are thinking about using it.
TECHNICALLY a type of former wood.
People are thinking “log cabin” and that’s wrong.
No pix, no clicks particularly when if it’s from a MSM venue.
Exactly, thanks.
I read a post describing exactly what you are talking about, and that was my first impression. Densified wood is probably the only way they could use wood and get around all the issues the other posters are discussing.
Sounds like a fire disaster waiting to happen.
Shaped and finished like a match stick?
