Top surfaces and bottom surfaces of the metal plates are ground by a grinding wheel to form finely concaved patterns. The top surfaces and the bottom surfaces of the metal plates and surfaces of the finely concaved patterns are sandblasted to form plural rough faces which are soaked in a chemical agent to form plural tiny pores, are anodized to generate oxidation, and are back anodized to eliminate oxide. On the top surfaces and the bottom surfaces of the metal plates and the surfaces of the finely concaved patterns are formed plural micro-pores. Thus, when the adhesive is applied on each metal plate and each wooden plate, each metal plate and each wooden plate are stuck together.
