I’m happy that folks find this useful. I call the stuff clown barf.

No, I wouldn’t make the entire box out of it. It will not withstand the string pressure. However, if you covered a plywood box with it, it might look kinda nice. I wouldn’t try making large sheets unless I had a hydraulic press with a very heavy duty form. You have to keep compressing it every 10 minutes as it cools.

That`s so cool!

Wonder how a full marbled box would sound?

"WOW", what an amazing Video, who would have thought that these everyday items we put in the recycle bin, almost on a daily basis, could be used for enhancing the look of our various types of instrument builds, and Yes! Lappy, I did enjoy listening and watching this Video, very clearly and easily explained  :-)

Pretty cool.  I thought the green on the 5 string LPG was some fancy and expensive material like mother of toilet seat.  Nice shop you have there too.
