  • Publication number: 20200061978
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mass plywood panel assembly including at least two engineered wood panel assemblies. Each wood panel assembly includes a first layer including a first set of billets, a second layer including a second set of billets and a third layer including a third set of billets of sheets. The first set of billets, the second set of billets, and the third set of billets are all oriented longitudinally along the length of the wood panel assembly and the at least two engineered wood panel assemblies are connected by an end joint, thereby forming the mass plywood panel assembly. Methods of manufacturing mass plywood panel assemblies are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10131119
    Abstract: 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.
