High strength laminated veneer lumber

A laminated veneer lumber product having an MOE value of at least 2,000,000 psi, comprising:

• layers of low density incised veneer sheets impregnated with a phenolic resin, the sheets dried to a moisture content not exceeding about 5% and the phenolic resin cured, all of the sheets having substantially the same thickness, the layers formed into a layer up with adhesive resin on adjacent surfaces and pressed together.

A laminated veneer lumber product having an MOE value of at least 2,000,000 psi, comprising:

• at least four adjacent surface layers formed of low density incised veneer sheets impregnated with a phenolic resin, the surface layers dried to a moisture content not exceeding about 5% and the phenolic resin being cured, the four adjacent surface layers on both sides of at least five adjacent core layers formed of high density incised veneer sheets, having a moisture content not exceeding about 5%, all of the sheets having substantially the same thickness, the layers having adhesive resin on adjacent surfaces.

A laminated veneer lumber product having an MOE value of at least 2,000,000 psi, comprising:
