Hey Grump! Strawboard was like Melamine and rangerboard aka mdf and other cabinet making materials which was commonly made 49x97 to allow drunken cabinet makers to cut full 24" cabinets without risking any digits!!!! Wallywacker would attest to this fact.. just a question though....wouldn't that weigh like 1,000,000 pounds? On a side note to everyone HAVE A SAFE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! May you you reel in more than you let out in 2007!!! Mike...
