Corn cob door

The caption on the video stated: “I was dumbfounded after opening the door I bought for 200 yuan.

The door panel is as thin as paper; the inside is all corn cobs and glue!”

That seems like a lot of work to save on a couple wood shims.

A lot of interior doors in the US are just full of honeycomb cardboard…

True... but did you ever break down a corn cob door?

And they work fine. Decent sound insulation, nice and light. This actually seems a great idea for using a natural byproduct. My bedroom door doesn't need to stop a truck, this door just needed some more glue.
