[Cob] Glass impregnated wood timbers

[Amanda Peck]

There's something like that widely advertised in things like Fine 
Homebuilding.  Not "glass" but the chemical stew that makes up fiberglass, 
most likely.  Don't have a copy handy, but it's usually one column wide, the 
depth of the page, on the right side, and there's quite a bit of yellow in 
the ad.

Does anyone have any information or web sites to reference about a new
timber product I saw on TV (This Old House maybe). The timbers were coated
with a glass product of some type, heated to a point where the glass melted
into the wood and provided a protective coating that could be stained -
perhaps painted, too. Would like to learn more about this product.
