METHOD OF PRODUCING A LAMINATED WOOD PRODUCT, AND LAMINATED WOOD PRODUCTS

The present disclosure provides a method of forming a laminated wood product, which is adapted for receiving a load in a direction perpendicular to a principal fiberdirection of the wood. The method comprises cutting a log (2) along theprincipal fiberdirection of the log, into a plurality of wood lamellae (20a, 20b), such that the wood lamellae areformed as radial sections of the log, forming the wood lamellae (20a, 20b) to provide each wood lamella with a trapezoidal cross section, whereby the wood lamellae present a respective planar major base surface (bs1) that is formed at a radially outer part of the log (2) and a respective planar minor base surface (bs2) that is formed at a radially inner part of the log (2), arranging the lamellae (20a, 20b) as at least one layer in which planar major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent lamellae (20a, 20b) face opposite directions, andgluing together the lamellae (20a, 20b) side surface to side surface (ss1, ss2) such that a wood billet is formed. The method further comprises arranging the wood lamellae (20a, b) such that the major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent wood lamellae taper in opposite directions, and the gluing comprises wet gluing.
