Parallel strand lumber

Description
Parallel strand lumber is made of approx. 25mm wide peeled-veneer strips. In a continuous process, an adhesive is applied to the strips and the strips are glued together in a microwave press into an endless beam. Standard size products are then cut out of this beam. The wood used is Southern Yellow Pine.

Applications
