Disclosed herein are drum shells and methods of forming drum shells with plies that are individually scarfed, or with combinations of plies that are scarfed separately from one or more other plies. In some embodiments, the radial location of the joints of the plies can be varied around the drum shell, resulting in the removal of an inherent weak point in traditionally formed drum shells where all plies have a joint at approximately the same radial position.

A method for producing a wood veneer, where the wood veneer is provided as a decorative layer for a trim piece for a vehicle interior, wherein the molded part has at least one line element on a visible side, can involve the steps of a) providing a wood blank, b) generating two-dimensional cutting data by developing a designated three-dimensional shape of the wood veneer c) forming wood slats by cutting out the two-dimensional developed form of the wood veneer from the wood blank and slicing the two-dimensional developed form along the developed line elements on the basis of the two-dimensional cutting data, d) layering and gluing the cut wood slats to form a veneer block, e) compressing the wood slats and curing the veneer block, f) separating the veneer block into wood veneers. Moreover, the invention relates to a veneer block, a molded part, and corresponding methods of production.

The present invention discloses a compound lumber product, relating to the technical field of wooden materials for making furniture, and particularly to a compound lumber product that may be used for making furniture. The compound lumber product includes a core lumber and side-members surrounding the core lumber. The core lumber may be one piece or formed from several core members. The side-members may be single-piece or formed by joining together several high-grade wood boards or strips. Side-members are arranged side by side around the outer surface of the core lumber, wrapping around the core lumber with tail edge of a preceding side-member secured or connected to the inner side-face of the subsequent adjoining side-member at its head edge in a head-to-tail manner, to form the enclosure structure.

A method for assembling a container, the container including a veneer based tubular side wall and a veneer based bottom part and a connecting element made of a fusible material. The method includes arranging the connecting element and the bottom part at one end of the tubular side wall; imparting energy to the connecting element, thereby softening the connecting element; compressing the connecting element and the bottom part, thereby expanding the softened connecting element in the plane in which the bottom part extends; thereby bonding the connecting element to the side wall and to the bottom part.

A method for manufacturing a three-dimensionally deformed plate made of a wood fiber material comprises providing a prefabricated, flat wood fiber material plate as the original plate, preheating the original plate in sections, wetting the preheated section of the original plate with an atomized liquid mixture of water and a separating agent, introducing a section of the original plate that is preheated and wetted with a liquid mixture of water and a separating agent between two rollers of a molding station, wherein the rollers respectively provide a corrugated profile in the peripheral direction of the external surface, such that the original plate is being deformed in sections into a plate with a wave shape, wherein rollers are being used, the respective profiling of which has half-waves which follow one another in the peripheral direction and which at least partially have a different extension in the peripheral direction.

A system and process for producing a factory-finished engineered wood-based siding, cladding or panel (e.g., manufactured with wood veneer, strands or fibers). An overlay with a finish coating, not a primer coating, is applied to the engineered wood strand mat prior to applying heat and pressure in a press. The post-press product is cut to form panels, with an edge coating applied to color match the finish coating. The factory-finished product avoids the need to apply a final finish coating of paint on the panel face at the job site after installation, or at a separate, secondary facility post-press.

A pole for supporting a cable. The pole includes a plurality of truncated cones arranged in a linear array to form the pole, wherein each truncated cone receives an adjacent truncated cone within its interior. Each truncated cone in the pole is formed from a veneer by moving the longitudinal edges of the veneer towards each other. A method of manufacturing the pole and various uses of the pole are also provided.
