Process for forming a reconsolidated wood product (22) from a flexible open lattice work web of naturally interconnected wood strands. Bonding agent is applied to the web, which is then subjected to compression to consolidate the web and form the product (22). A wax is applied to the web (14) before the application of bonding agent, to limit pick-up of the bonding agent. The compression of the web (14) is effected once in a direction generally normal to the median plane of the web and once in an edge to edge direction. The compression force may be only partly released, for a time, after the first compression.

A process for forming a reconsolidated wood product from a plurality of flexible open lattice work webs each of naturally interconnected wood strands, each said web being formed by partially rending natural wood so that said strands thereof are generally aligned along a common grain direction, a substantial proportion of said strands of each web being substantially discrete but incompletely separated from each other, said process comprising superposing said webs, compressing the superposed webs to consolidate the strands whilst maintaining them such as to substantially extend in said original grain direction and bonding said strands and webs together to hold them in juxtapositions assumed pursuant to said consolidation, wherein said bonding process comprises coating the strands of the webs with wax, applying a bonding agent to the strands whose impregnation into the natural wood of the strands is restricted by the wax coating, removing excess bonding agent from the superposed webs and curing the bonding agent during said compression and consolidation of the strands of the superposed webs.
