Alternatives to Homosote for handlaid track

Have you considered splining the homosote? Cut the sheets in 2" wide strips and fasten them together with dryway screws--you don't have to worry about transitions (they're automatically formed) and you don't even have to fasten the splines to the underlying benchwork. Works great! <br />As I recall the pine splines used were clear stock or nearly so, cut into 1/4" think strips from 4/4 stock (3/4" thick) and then glued together with spacers ever so often--lots of work, but sturdy and expensive. Clear pine is hard to find nowadays and expensive when you do find it. <br />Good luck!
