A method of making a laminated wood product for use as a ceiling or floor element having major surfaces and a thickness as seen in a direction perpendicular to the major surfaces, of about 6-30 cm, preferably 8-26 cm, the method comprising: providing a plurality of wood lamellae, each having a longitudinal direction which is substantially parallel with a principal fiber direction of the respective wood lamella, and a generally trapezoidal cross section providing a major base surface (bs1), a minor base surface (bs2) and a pair of opposing side surfaces (ss1, ss2), wherein the major base surface (bs1) is formed closest to the bark of the log and the minor base surface (bs2) is formed close to the pith and parallel with the major base surface (bs1), subjecting the wood lamellae to a surface drying step to remove the water from the wood surface, applying glue suitable for wet gluing to the side surfaces (ss1, ss2) of the wood lamellae while a moisture content of the wood lamellae is greater than 25 % by dry mass, preferably greater than 30 % by dry mass, arranging the wood lamellae side surface (ss1) to side surface (ss2), such that major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent lamellae face opposite directions and the base surfaces (bs1, bs2) define the respective major surfaces of the wood product, pressing the side surfaces towards each other for a sufficient time to bond the wood lamellae to each other to form a billet , prior to the step of cutting the billet, subjecting the thus formed billet to a drying step, reducing the moisture content of the billet to 8-18 % by dry mass, and cutting the thus formed billet along a plane parallel with the longitudinal direction and perpendicular to the major surfaces to form a plank. providing a plurality of wood lamellae, each having a longitudinal direction which is substantially parallel with a principal fiber direction of the respective wood lamella, and a generally trapezoidal cross section providing a major base surface (bs1), a minor base surface (bs2) and a pair of opposing side surfaces (ss1, ss2), wherein the major base surface (bs1) is formed closest to the bark of the log and the minor base surface (bs2) is formed close to the pith and parallel with the major base surface (bs1), subjecting the wood lamellae to a surface drying step to remove the water from the wood surface, applying glue suitable for wet gluing to the side surfaces (ss1, ss2) of the wood lamellae while a moisture content of the wood lamellae is greater than 25 % by dry mass, preferably greater than 30 % by dry mass, arranging the wood lamellae side surface (ss1) to side surface (ss2), such that major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent lamellae face opposite directions and the base surfaces (bs1, bs2) define the respective major surfaces of the wood product, pressing the side surfaces towards each other for a sufficient time to bond the wood lamellae to each other to form a billet , prior to the step of cutting the billet, subjecting the thus formed billet to a drying step, reducing the moisture content of the billet to 8-18 % by dry mass, and cutting the thus formed billet along a plane parallel with the longitudinal direction and perpendicular to the major surfaces to form a plank. <EOS>
