ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus for forming a reconsolidated wood product, and a partially rended natural wood bundle therefor, comprises partially rending natural wood to form a plurality of flexible open lattice work webs each of naturally interconnected wood strands which are generally aligned along a common grain direction with a substantial proportion of the strands in each web being substantially discrete but incompletely separated from each other. Each web is of increased width laterally and correspondingly decreased thickness compared to the natural wood but they may vary in dry wood densities. To avoid this the webs are compacted widthwise to substantially uniform dry wood densities and this may involve weighing the webs and measuring their moisture content. The compacted webs are then abutted width-to-width and partially rended natural wood bundles of preselected widths and dry wood densities are cut from the mat. The bundles may then be at least partly superposed, compressed and bonded together to form the desired product.
