ABSTRACT:
An elongated composite structural member such as a pallet cleat is made from elongated cellulosic particles and a binder by first providing a stiff and relatively incompressible board on a first wall confronting a second wall and defining therewith and with adjacent walls a compartment. A mass of the particles and binder are filled into the compartment between the walls and the first wall is displaced with the board toward the second wall and into the compartment into a predetermined intermediate position without substantial movement of the adjacent walls so as to subject the mass in the compartment between the first and second walls to a relatively low compression in a predetermined direction. At least one of the adjacent walls is then displaced transversely into the compartment without substantial movement of the first wall and the board from their intermediate position so as to subject the compressed mass in the compartment to a relatively low compression transverse to the direction. The first wall and the board are then moved toward the second wall into a terminal position to subject the mass in the compartment to a relatively high degree of compression in the direction without substantial movement of the side walls. Finally the mass is cured and hardened between the walls without substantial movement of same and so as to bond the mass to the board.
