The present invention is a method for manufacturing edge-glued panels or laminated beams, from sawn timber edges with pronounced wane. Logs from small diameter trees have tight and sound knots, and are for this reason suitable for furniture and interior furnishing. However with conventional methods, trees below a certain diameter (less than about 14 cm) cannot be used profitable, for such furniture and interior applications. The method according to this invention makes it feasible to use logs of smaller diameter than is possible with conventional methods. The starting material is sawn timber pieces (2) having edges with pronounced wane. In addition to profiling (f) the waney edges, the pieces are optionally cut (20d) resulting in members (20). These members are seubsequently joined, thus obtaining thick laminated pieces (21) typically in the form of panels. These may be cut into thin panels (22) characterized by surfaces (22s) with a pleasin grain pattern and even distance between the glue lines of the joints. |
