Method for the manufacture of a wet glued wood article

A method for manufacturing a wet glued wood article comprising the following steps:

• a. providing a first actively never-dried or slightly dried wood piece comprising at least one surface which has a superficial layer having a thickness of least 2 wood cells, wherein said wood piece is a freshly sawn wood piece,
• b. drying the at least one surface of said wood piece so that the moisture content of said superficial layer up to a depth of from 0.15 mm to 0 3 mm in said wood piece is below the fibre saturation point, providing a dried surface on said first wood piece, wherein the drying is performed at a temperature from 20° C. to 80° C. for less than 15 minutes,
• c. applying a gluing agent on said dried surface thus providing a glue surface, wherein the gluing agent is polyurethane glue (PUR),
• d. providing a second actively never-dried or slightly dried wood piece comprising at least one surface which has a superficial layer having a thickness of least 2 wood cells,
• e. drying the surface of said second wood piece so that the moisture content of said superficial layer is below the fibre saturation point, providing a dried surface on said second wood piece,
• f. bringing said first and second dried surfaces together, so that said glue surface of the first wood piece touches said dried surface on said second wood piece, thus providing a wet glued wood article, and
• g. clamping said wet glued wood article for creating a minimal glued joint bridging said first and second wood pieces together,
• wherein said wood moisture content of said superficial layer in steps b) and e) is from 8 to 30%.
