Manufactured wood product and methods for producing the same

摘要

A method for producing a manufactured wood product using less desirable or discarded natural wood and a manufactured wood product produced by the described method. This inventive method comprises utilizing less desirable or discarded natural wood pieces by slicing the wood pieces into elongated strips (30) that are then partially separated into elongate sections (32) that maintain fibrous connectivity (33) between the elongate sections (32). The elongate sections (32) are dried and covered or impregnated with an adhesive. A second drying follows the adhesive application and the elongated strips (30) are then arranged lengthwise in a mold for pressing.
