ABSTRACT:
A hollow light weight pole like structure suitable for use as a utility pole, column or log building member is made of a plurality of wood strips glued edge to edge forming a hollow interior core, with at least one layer of high strength veneer material glued to the exterior of the wood strips with the veneer grain running parallel to the length. The layer of veneer increases the strength, distributes bending stresses uniformly, provides greater decay resistance than ordinary glued hollow poles, and increases the service life. The veneer can be made in several layers forming a continuous overwrap without longitudinally extending gaps that expose the interior wood strips to weather or splitting.
