Hey Peter, Welcome to the forum! I like your idea! Just don't put a wood finish on the linoleum. It will yellow and spoil the look of it!
Go over to the introduction page and introduce yourself!

Peter: I've also used the stuff they put on counter tops - it almost cuts like butter. It looks like stoone, but is man made.

I traded one of my roses for a "BIG" batch of it, I had to make three trips carrying it to my truck. It came in a lot of colors, and as I said it was easy to cut.

Melster? are you considering cutting patterns from this 'leather' material or using it as a 'backer'?

Menards is my favorite store!
I haven't used this stuff, but cut some paneling once. It is pretty thin so stack it to make it more stable and put a decent board on the bottom to add support.
