A wood stud for use in the construction of a partition wall is formed of a laminate structure consisting of a pair of outer layers of elongated boards of lumber and of an intermediate layer defined by a series of spaced wood strips disposed between the elongated boards. The strips are vertically spaced from one another so as to define elongated slots in the stud to allow passage of electrical wiring, plumbing and the like therethrough. The improved laminate structure is characterized by the dimensions of the outer boards, one of which having a width approximate double that of the other; this construction provides optimum resistance to heavy load conditions on a partition or exterior wall formed of wood studs.
