<p>A wooden pallet or bin in which a top load-bearing deck (50) and a bottom deck (58) are spaced from one another by wooden spacer blocks (60). The wooden spacer blocks (60) which are preformed blocks made up of a solid wood core member (42) sandwiched between layers (44, 46) of plywood which are adhesively laminated to the core member, are far more resistant to splitting than are unitary blocks, which are conventionally used in constructing pallets or bins. A construction form (82) including stiffening members comprising preformed members made of a wooden core (84) sandwiched between plywood layers (86, 88) is also described, as well as a construction element consisting of a wooden core member (42) sandwiched between plywood layers (44, 46).</p> |
