And then there's cheap 'particleboard'-- lind of like MDF but with larger wood
sawdust grains. That stuff is OK when dry-- but get it wet and you can punch
your fist through it.

I assume OSB is what I call 'chip board'-- larger roughly-triangular (or
odd-shaped) chunks or slices of wood, pressed and glued together randomly. Off
the top of my head, I'm thinking that some kind of (sophisticated) crackle or
facets pigment/pattern would be a way to go.

In the image, I'm seeing what look like un-wanted moire patterns on the right
side...
