Laminated panels

[alan forsyth]

Corrugated cardboard is actually incredibly strong for what it is. The army 
here tested various methods of throwing parcels out of planes to see which 
method would result in the least damage . The test was to throw out a piano 
wrapped in various materials from the plane, attached to a parachute of 
course, and found that cardboard was the winner. No damage to Olde Birdcage!

As for laminated panels, we've been using them for centuries. Remember the 
old tea chest basses with the attached broom stick  and twine. They produced 
a very satisfying deep throbbing sound.
