I think wood is obsolete today, plastic is better

We should use only plastic and let the poor trees in peace.

Plastic is the far superior material and wood is outdated - maggots
and worms will eat it and it won't last for centuries as plastic does.

So I recommend to change to plasticworking or create artificial wood
that kills critters who try to eat it.

Plastic is for people with no sense of style and no imagination.

Wood is:
Biodegradable
Renewable resource

Plastic is neither.

I've got an all-wood deck. It is rotted. The next one will
be made from Trex and won't rot!

years. My plastic deck shairs have an ugly oxidized layer on the
surface. I am told that painting the schirs will not be very effective
in restoring them to the original shine. I suspect most external
plastics will show the effects of weather. They may even become brittle.

It's OK. *spackle* sticks to most plastic for those of you interested
in doing intarsia or inlay work.
