Patent number: 10131119Abstract: An engineered wood panel assembly includes a first layer including a first set of billets that abut against each other along a lengthwise edge of the billets. Each billet includes one or more joints connecting adjacent sheets within the billet, and the joints are oriented perpendicular to the lengthwise edge. Each of the sheets in the first layer includes at least one ply comprising wood grain oriented in a first direction. A second layer including a second set of billets of sheets is layered on top of the first layer. Each billet in the second set includes one or more additional joints that are oriented perpendicular to a lengthwise edge of the second set of billets. The additional joints in the second layer are offset from the joints in the first layer, and each of the sheets in the second layer includes at least one ply having wood grain oriented in a second direction. Additionally, a third layer including a third set of billets of sheets may be layered on top of the second layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: FRERES LUMBER CO., INC.Inventor: Tyler Freres
