The glue layer comprises hard particles with an average particle size which is at least one third of the thickness of the wood veneer. Methods for manufacturing such floor panels are provided.

Sheet material includes at least two layers of material, wherein a first layer of material forms more than half the thickness of the sheet material and is mainly built up from wood particles glued by means of a first binder and pressed. The first binder is thermosetting, wherein the second layer of material is present on the surface of the aforementioned sheet material and is mainly built up from particulate particles glued by a second binder and pressed. The second binder is thermoplastic and/or elastomeric.

A method, apparatus, and product-by-process, for preparing an RFID access card constructed out of wood is disclosed. The method involved preparing two wooden surfaces of appropriate thickness, preparing an RFID chip emitting an appropriate frequency, and pressing the wooden surfaces and the RFID chip together through the use of adhesive(s) and a hot press and a cold press. The apparatus included an RFID access card constructed out of at least two wooden surfaces where an RFID chip is disposed between the two surfaces. The two wooden surfaces are attached with a hot melt adhesive.
