The waved wood assembly can have a flexible support layer onto the face(s) of which one or more wood sheet layer(s) are adhered by an adhesive. The waved wood product can maintain its waved shape when freestanding. It can exhibit significant elasticity characteristics. It can have very accentuated waves, i.e. waves that span a greater thickness for a given number of waves per unit of dimension.

1. A process of making a wood product comprising: assembling a flexible support sheet sandwiched between two wood sheets with an adhesive between the flexible support sheet and each one of the two wood sheets, into a flat stacked assembly with all wood sheets having a same longitudinal wood grain orientation in the stacked assembly, including partially activating the adhesive;flexing the stacked assembly in a direction transverse to the wood grain orientation, thereby rendering the stacked assembly flexible in the transverse direction; andsubsequently to said flexing, shaping the flexible stacked assembly into a waved shape in the direction transverse to the wood grain orientation and setting the waved shape of the waved wood assembly by setting the adhesive, the waved wood assembly independently maintaining its waved shape thereafter. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein the waved shape has an angle α of above 50° from the transversal orientation. 3. The process of claim 1 wherein the step of assembling includes heat-pressing. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein the step of shaping includes heating the adhesive. 5. The process of claim 1 wherein the flexing includes repeating the flexing on both sides of the wood assembly. 6. The process of claim 1 further comprising positioning the waved assembly onto a panel and adhering the waved assembly thereto. 7. A process of making a waved wood product comprising: assembling a flexible support sheet and a first wood sheet with an adhesive between the flexible support sheet and the first wood sheet, into a flat stacked assembly with the wood sheet having a given longitudinal wood grain orientation in the stacked assembly and the flexible support sheet being significantly more flexible than the first wood sheet, including partially activating the adhesive;flexing the stacked assembly in a direction transverse to the wood grain orientation, thereby rendering the stacked assembly flexible in the transverse direction; andsubsequently to said flexing, shaping the flexed stacked assembly into a waved shape in the direction transverse to the wood grain orientation and setting the waved shape of the waved wood assembly by setting the adhesive, the waved wood assembly independently maintaining its waved shape thereafter. 8. The process of claim 7 wherein the assembling includes activating the adhesive and the step of shaping includes reactivating the adhesive. 9. The process of claim 7 wherein the assembling includes simultaneously assembling a second wood sheet to the flexible support sheet with an adhesive therebetween, the flexible support sheet being sandwiched between the two wood sheets in the stacked assembly; wherein both wood sheets have the same wood grain orientation in the stacked assembly. 10. The process of claim 7 wherein the waved shape has an angle α of above 50° from the transversal orientation. 11. The process of claim 7 wherein the step of assembling includes heat-pressing. 12. The process of claim 7 wherein the step of shaping includes heating the adhesive. 13. The process of claim 7 wherein the flexing includes repeating the flexing on both sides of the wood assembly. 14. The process of claim 7 further comprising positioning the waved assembly onto a panel and adhering the waved assembly thereto.
