A load transfer device (LTD) allowing for reliable connection and linkage of composite wood boards is provided. A LTD is configured for containment within openings within peripheral edges of wood boards which are cut into a complementary shape to that of the device. The device, when assembled in panel openings, permits separation of adjacent boards, as well as, sufficient load bearing strength for the overall construction within which such connected wood boards are utilized. The separation of wood boards permits proper sealing therebetween and proper distance for shrinking or swelling during the lifetime of the edifice. The ability to impart increased load bearing strength allows for an increase in construction materials to be carried and kept on such a structure during construction. The method of manufacture of a structure utilizing load transfer devices between boards is also disclosed.
