ABSTRACT:
Glued laminated wood which has a novel laminated structure and may be fabricated from small-sized veneer sheets, and method of manufacturing such laminated wood are provided. The glued laminated wood in its continuous form is made from a series of unit-length veneer sheets each having the same length and thickness which are laminated in a laid-up arrangement in which each of the veneer sheets is lapped on another and offset therefrom in the direction of its length at a regular interval determined by the number of plies to be in the laminated wood product and the length of the unit veneer sheets. It has a novel structure in that each veneer sheet therein has tandemly spaced straight length portions which are parallel to each other, but successively displaced from each other in the direction of the thickness of the product, there being a somewhat S-shaped curved length portion of the veneer sheet between any successive pair of these straight length portions. The number of such straight length portions in each unit veneer sheet is equal to the number of plies in the product being made, and the length of each such straight length portion is nominally determined by dividing the length of the unit veneer sheet by the number of plies.
