But open it up and ~Surprise!~<br />My daughter is becoming quite a gourmet cook and amazing baker. She comes over to my house and looks at all of the wonderful gadgets I've acquired over the years and gets so excited! I just give them to her because I am ~Over~Cooking~ after doing it for 30 years! She forgot to bring back my stand and hand mixers at Thanksgiving, so we had nothing but elbow greats to whip the cream! :O)<br /><br />Chipboard is really compacted paper fiber. It has a kind of wood feel and strength, but is much easier to cut, paint, cover etc. It's acid free, unlike some woods, so it will stand the test of time, apparently. I painted all of the red shelf parts and, Sheila, I may never go back to wood. It's wonderful! No curling! I should put the caveat in her that says *So Far*Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-89092680324738383032016-12-01T10:33:20.519-08:002016-12-01T10:33:20.519-08:00Thanks, Brae!

I am going for a post war kind of vibe and this paper pack totally fits the bill.<br />To be honest, I was expecting to have to clamp all of the chipboard while the glue dried. To my amazement, even the shelf and trim pieces were a dream! I am not experienced enough yet to know if it is the particular brand of chipboard that I have, or if it is just a natural bonus to using this material. I glued both on the white and the exposed side and there was literally zero curling - a very pleasant surprise!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-63224642405780542802016-12-01T07:15:50.541-08:002016-12-01T07:15:50.541-08:00Wow!

So this is going inside a cookbook! <br /><br />I was wondering about that too... how does the chipboard hold up with the paint, glue, etc. I've noticed thinner woods have the tendency to curve.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074992134112478195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-58962892380455624222016-12-01T07:04:20.034-08:002016-12-01T07:04:20.034-08:00I like your colors and patterns.

I like the edging on the replacement shelves. Are there any issues with the chipboard warping because of glue or paint?
