Abstract: A multi-ply solid wood structure, such as a beam, a board or a truss, and a ethod of manufacturing such wood structures are disclosed. The wood structure comprises wood lamellae that are joined together, wherein the wood lamellae are produced by a chipless separation from squared timber using a blade or a knife, and wherein the lamellae have a knife side that was adjacent to the knife during the process of separation and an opposite side that is remote from the knife side. In one embodiment, the wood lamellae are arranged in the multi-ply solid wood structure such that, when viewed from a center plane of the wood structure extending generally in parallel to the external surfaces of the lamellae of the wood structure, the opposite side of each wood lamellae is directed toward the two external surfaces of the wood structure.

Abstract: A method wherein a length of squared timber can be completely separated i a number of thin boards having a predetermined thickness without an excessively thin or excessively thick unusable residual board being left over is disclosed. The method includes measuring the thickness of the residual squared timber after one or more thin boards have been separated, and feeding the thickness measurement back to the cutting apparatus to adjust the setting of the apparatus. The method is useful on an apparatus that separates a length of squared timber into thin boards without producing chips and without timber loss, and wherein the predetermined board thickness cannot be set exactly because of variations in the property parameters of the wood.
