Estimating the term…
An oriented strand board product is provided. The board is comprised of a baseboard having three wood strand layers, the wood strands being oriented in space with respect to a board forming machine such that a core layer is comprised of wood strands oriented generally in a random or cross-machine direction and each adjacent layer is comprised of coarse and fine wood strands oriented generally in the machine direction and wherein the wood strands comprising each adjacent layer are formed with the coarsest strands located nearest the core layer and the finest strands are located nearest the outer surfaces of each outer board layer. The OSB board product is clad with a dry felted wood fiber overlay on one planar surface of the baseboard.
An oriented strand board-fiberboard composite structure that does not delaminate upon weathering comprising a multilayer oriented strand board core including a plurality of wood strand layers, including one layer formed from wood strands oriented generally in a random or cross-machine direction and an adjacent layer formed from wood strands oriented in a direction generally perpendicular to said one layer;
An oriented strand board-fiberboard composite structure comprising a plurality of layers of oriented strand board material, each layer loosely formed separately and disposed one above the other, wherein a top layer is a loosely formed oriented strand board core having wood strands of varying dimensions, and an overlay secured to the oriented strand board core such that the overlay does not delaminate upon weathering, said overlay formed into a loosely formed handleable dry-felted fiberboard mat including fibrillated wood fibers entangled sufficiently for handleability and, thereafter, hot pressed to consolidate the loose fiberboard mat simultaneously with hot pressing the oriented strand board core to consolidate both the oriented strand board core and the fiberboard mat and bonding the two layers together;
An oriented strand board-fiberboard composite structure that does not delaminate upon weathering comprising a multilayer oriented strand board core including three wood strand layers, including a second layer formed from wood strands oriented generally in a random or cross-machine direction and first and third adjacent layers formed from wood strands oriented in a direction generally perpendicular to said second layer;
