    Interesting. the Israelis were looking for a cheap way to armor vehicles. They did sheet metal/styrofoam ad infinitum layers...well really only a few layers. Anyway- metal spreads the force over a large area,foam absorbs energy, repeat as necessary. The result was made from two cheap available items and would stop sizable fragments or bullets.

    Gotta wonder if the differing wood layers performs likewise.

    Yes I agree, it's all pretty interesting ( the whole constrained layer damping thing ) / just not quite interesting enough to have me search it out & use it instead of Baltic Birch .

    Yeah that sounds too much like work. I fish these days.

    What if you are stuck somewhere and gotta make it out of what is available? People do what they gotta...
