Disclosed is a new type of two-ply solid hybrid wood flooring system that utilizes an improved, more dimensional and stable solid wood backing layer or foundation with continuous solid structural edge beams made out of many small pieces of finger jointed solid wood strips and bonded together in such a way which eliminates waste of raw material, uses less adhesive and yields the maximum structural stability. The present invention combines the dimensional stability characteristics of a traditional perpendicular-grain engineered flooring product with the benefit of the thickness of the traditional solid wood flooring.

1. A two ply solid hardwood flooring system consisting of: a top wear layer;a layer of wood foundation having: two continuous structural edge beams; andbacking strips of equal widths and thicknesses running in directions perpendicular to the top wear layer and the structural edge beams and jointed to the structural edge beams by a joint;a first interstitial area configured to at least partially fasten said layer of wood foundation and the top wear layer together, the first interstitial area defined by a generally nonhomogeneous layer, the first interstitial area further configured to create friction and coupling surfaces between said layer of wood foundation and the top wear layer; and;a second interstitial area located at said joint configured to at least partially fasten the edge beams and backing strips together, the second interstitial area defined by a generally nonhomogeneous layer, the second interstitial area further configured to create friction and coupling surfaces between the structural edge beams and the backing strips; and;at least one preformatted adhesive strip disposed to position within the first and second interstitial areas, and formatted to said joint, the at least one preformatted adhesive strip configured to help adhere the layer of wood foundation to the top wear layer and the structural edge beams to the backing strips, whereby the at least one preformatted adhesive strip is a separate component from the first and second interstitial areas. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the said structural edge beams are comprised of a plurality of micro lock mortise riveted joint wood strips. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the said backing strips are comprised of solid wood or a plurality of micro lock mortise riveted joint wood strips. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein said two ply solid hardwood flooring system is secured to a wood substrate, a concrete substrate, secured as a floating floor above a substrate, or secured above a substrate with radiant heated floor components. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one preformatted adhesive strip is comprised of pre-shaped adhesive strips to accommodate said joints. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the two structural edge beams and backing strips are comprised of solid wood or waste wood scraps. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the top wear layer has a thickness between 0.5 mm and 6 mm, a width between 3 inches and 18 inches, and a length between 4 inches and 12 feet. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the said layer of wood foundation is comprised of wood strips between 2 mm to 20 mm thick. 9. The system of claim 1, further including a sensor, the sensor configured to monitor the qualities of the at least one preformatted adhesive strip. 10. A two ply wood flooring system consisting of: a plurality of wood strips configured to be jointed at two opposite ends, the jointed ends connecting to a structural edge beam; the structural edge beam having a groove or a tongue on a first side, a straight joint, or a finger joint or tongue or groove joint on an opposite side connecting to the plurality of wood strips, and the straight joint, or tongue or the groove joint on the opposite side of said wood strips connecting to a complementary straight joint, tongue or a complementary groove on a subsequent structural edge beam;a cover layer;a first interstitial area configured to at least partially fasten the structural edge beams and the cover layer together, the first interstitial area defined by a generally nonhomogeneous layer, the first interstitial area further configured to create friction and coupling surfaces between the structural edge beam and the cover layer; and a first at least one preformatted adhesive strip disposed to position within the first interstitial area, the first at least one preformatted adhesive strip configured to help adhere the structural edge beams to the cover layer, whereby the first at least one preformatted adhesive strip is a separate component from the first interstitial area;a second interstitial area configured to at least partially fasten the structural edge beam and the plurality of wood strips together, the second interstitial area defined by a generally nonhomogeneous layer, the second interstitial area further configured to create friction and coupling surfaces between the structural edge beam and the plurality of wood strips; and a second at least one preformatted adhesive strip disposed to position within the second interstitial area, the second at least one preformatted adhesive strip configured to help adhere the structural edge beam to the plurality of wood strips, whereby the second at least one preformatted adhesive strip is a separate component from the second interstitial area.
