Abstract
The present invention provides solid wood paneling formed of beveled, solid wood planks having a uniform, standardized length. At least some of these planks are made up of shorter, random length boards that have been joined into longer, uniform length planks. All four edges of each of these individual boards are beveled so that when they are assembled into a plank, the plank will include a bevel which accentuates the location of the joint between the individual boards of a plank. Such a solid wood paneling is less expensive and easier to install than standard solid wood paneling, yet achieves the same distinctive look of standard paneling with a plurality of random length individual boards which are individually applied.
Claims6
A wood paneling kit comprising a plurality of elongated solid wood planks of generally uniform length and width, each plank having a face, opposing sides, and opposing ends, the sides and ends being beveled adjacent the face;
- at least some of the planks being comprised of two or more elongated boards each having opposing ends beveled adjacent their respective faces, such boards being structurally joined end-to end so that when the planks are assembled side-to side and end-to-end, the joints between boards of a plank have generally the same appearance as the joints between adjacent planks said elongated boards being substantially the same in width however non-uniform in length.
