Nice work. Is that cardboard or foam in the kidney panel?

hi George its MDF
i think it was banned in the States many years ago
i take it that its changed its composition to a greener/safer product
and maybe sold as compressed fibreboard nowadays
as it is freely available in Britain

Hi,
What type of padding is that and where do you get it from? It looks a lot better (and healthier!) and more supporting, than the horsehair type material they were originally stuffed with.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Thanks. I think we still have it. I have it in my bathroom and it swells with water. It is hard and straight though when dry.
