After all, it was available in individual pieces at a lumber yard... well, they were always closed when I thought of looking it up. So yeah, they stock larger sizes, and it costs less there too. Besides, all the bad reviews I've read about wood had to do with someone ordering a bundle, and getting just a few useful pieces out of it.
I did waste half a piece trying to figure out how to cut it in a miter box. Thinking there must be a way to do a 45 degree angle upside down and backwards, from the same direction, on both sides. After trying every combination and losing track, I figured it had to be a left and right handed cut. Whereas I'd fooled myself into thinking all right handed was possible, with the moulding, but I must have miscut that too, and thought the glue made it fit together uniquely. Actually, double right handed cuts can be done, but holding the miter box turned 90 degrees is more awkward than cutting left handed.
Now I'm thinking about using more of it for a similar bracing method on a short concrete wall, where there isn't enough edge distance to put hardware around a post with anchor screws into the wall, as that requires several times the diameter of the fasteners, while a strip would fit at the edge and around the bottom. I'm doing another test between wood glue and construction adhesive on wood alone to see how it holds between vertical edges in general (and making use of the pieces I miscut). I think it will make a pretty good brace where there isn't room for hardware, as long as the glue is strong. I suppose it's better than nothing, or worse, weakening the other material with hardware in the wrong place. It makes a pretty strong crate too, with only that strip in the corners.
