Veneer face plywood flooring and methods of making the same

A method for manufacturing wood boards comprising the steps of:

• (a) forming a core inner layer by
• (1) preparing a back veneer sheet having longitudinally pierced slots therein oriented in parallel with its longitudinal grain structure;
• and
• (2) adhering one or more additional veneer sheets, each having longitudinally pierced slots therein oriented in parallel with its respective longitudinal grain structures, upon said back veneer sheet to form a stack of layered veneer sheets wherein the longitudinal grain structures of each veneer sheet in each pair of adjacent veneer sheets are perpendicularly oriented with respect to each other;
• and
• (b) adhering a longitudinally sliced wood face layer on said core inner layer such that the longitudinal grain structures of said face layer veneer are perpendicularly oriented with respect to the longitudinal grain structures of the proximate core inner layer veneer sheet to which it is attached;
• wherein, the veneer sheets of said inner core layer are oriented such that the tight sides of each successive pair of veneer sheets face away from each other.

A method for manufactured wood boards comprising the steps of:

• (a) forming a core inner layer by:
• (1) preparing a back veneer sheet comprising either a longitudinally or rotary sliced veneer sheet;
• and
• (2) adhering one or more additional veneer sheets, where alternating sheets have longitudinally pierced slots therein oriented in parallel with its respective longitudinal grain structures, upon said back veneer to form a stack of layered veneers wherein the longitudinal grain structures of each veneer sheet in each pair of adjacent veneer sheets are perpendicularly oriented with respect to each other;
• (b) adhering either a longitudinally sliced wood veneer face layer or a rotary sliced wood veneer face layer on said core inner layer such that the longitudinal grain structures of said face layer veneer are perpendicularly oriented with respect to the longitudinal grain structures of the proximate core inner layer veneer sheet to which it is attached;
• and
• (c) wherein only said pierced veneer sheets of the core inner layer have glue applied to both sides.
