    Coming to you...Bullet Resistant Cars from Balsa Wood

    Interesting article...

    They don't say which wood species, but I suppose it could be almost any of them. Make a door with a outer layer of your choice and a core from super wood and you have a BR door.
    I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love.... It seems to me that Montana is a great splash of grandeur....the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans. Montana has a spell on me. It is grandeur and warmth. Of all the states it is my favorite and my love.

    Interesting stuff. Thanks for the link Mark. I have to say though that the first thought that came to mind is "great... another motivation to wipe out the forests.."

    That's what I thought after the last sentences.
    How can enough wood be produced to replace steel and plastics? Maybe a minute dent, but certainly not replacement.
