Laminated structural members

Abstract

Cell walls (16) made of wood form a plurality of cells in which a filler material 18 (e.g. foam insulation) is received. Facing members (12, 14) are glued to the sides of the core structure (10). The grain of the wood cell walls (16) extend sideways of the core (10), such that in grain is directed towards the facing members (12, 14). This construction may be used to form logs (L) used for making log cabins, beams, columns, etc. It may also be used for constructing panels used to form furniture elements, such as desks, cabinets, etc., and for making doors.
