Abstract: A plague board comprises a solid polyurethane core enclosed by a high grade wood which forms all exterior surfaces thereof. A wooden frame is secured between the peripheries of a pair of spaced panels formed of flat sheets of veneer. The polyurethane core fills the interior of the frame between the veneer panels and is firmly bonded to the wooden frame and veneer. A method disclosed for constructing the plaque board and other like articles comprises inserting a measured amount of liquid polyurethane foam in the interior space between the attached frame and panels and pressing the opposite veneer panels inwardly as the polyurethane expands outwardly to solidify and become bonded to the frame and panels.
