Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for forming a decorative, resilient, wood product from an engineered structural wood product. The invention includes utilizing a sheet of engineered structural wood product, cutting the sheet lengthwise into planks, stacking the planks and adhering the planks together and slicing the edge grain off the adhered planks and placing the slices side-by-side to form large areas of exposed side grain. The slices can be attached to a substrate, and the slices can be further treated to produce a decorative wood product.

A method of forming a decorative wood product from an engineered structural wood product formed of a plurality of cut wood strands aligned and adhered together, the method comprising:
- providing an engineered structural wood product formed of wood strands, the product having an edge grain formed by the strands;
- slicing the engineered structural wood product into a plurality of planks having edge grains formed by the strands;
- stacking the planks;
- adhering the stacked planks together to form a composite plank;
- slicing the composite plank into sheets with exposed edge grain formed by the strands;
- and
- attaching the sheets with exposed edge grain formed by the strands to a substrate.
A method of forming a decorative wood product from an engineered structural wood product formed of a plurality of cut wood strands aligned and adhered together, the product showing side grain of the wood product formed by the strands, the method comprising:
- providing an engineered structural wood product formed of wood strands with a side grain formed by the strands;
- cutting the engineered structure wood product to successively expose the side grain formed by the strands of the product;
- stacking the cut wood product with the exposed side grain formed by the strands aligned;
- adhering the stack of cut wood product together with the aligned side grain formed by the strands exposed;
- and
- slicing the adhered stack to form sheets with the aligned side grain formed by the strands exposed.
A decorative wood product formed from an engineered structural wood product formed of a plurality of cut wood strands aligned and adhered together comprising:
- an upper surface presenting side grain formed by the wood strands, the upper surface formed by stacking and adhering together a plurality of pieces of structural engineered wood product with similarly oriented side grain formed by the cut wood strands, and slicing the stacked product to expose the side grain formed by the wood strands;
- and
- finishing the upper side grain surface.
A method of forming a decorative wood product comprising:
- cutting up wood material into strands up to approximately twelve inches long;
- coating the strands with adhesive;
- aligning the strands and adhering the strands together under pressure to form a structural wood product;
- slicing the structural wood product into a plurality of planks exposing edge grain fromed by the strands;
- stacking and adhering the planks together to form a composite plank;
- and
- slicing the composite plank into sheets with the exposed edge grain formed by the strands.
