Method of making an abrasive article and abrasive article

A method of making an abrasive article, the method comprising steps:

• i) providing a plurality of abrasive article precursors, wherein each abrasive article precursor is respectively prepared by a method comprising steps:
• a) providing a porous abrasive member having first and second opposed major surfaces, wherein openings extending through the porous abrasive member from the first major surface to the second major surface, wherein the porous abrasive member comprises abrasive particles secured to a porous substrate by at least one binder material;
• and
• b) urging a malleable thermosetting melt-flowable composition through the openings in the porous abrasive member to form an abrasive article precursor, wherein the malleable melt-flowable composition comprises novolac phenolic resin and furfuryl alcohol;
• and
• ii) stacking the plurality of abrasive article precursors optionally with one or more reinforcing scrims disposed adjacent to each one of the abrasive article precursors to provide a abrasive article precursor stack;
• and
• iii)) heating the abrasive article precursor stack to form the abrasive article, wherein the abrasive article comprises first and second opposed major surfaces, and wherein both of the first and second major surfaces comprise a cross-linked reaction product of the malleable thermosetting melt-flowable composition.
