A method of forming a laminated wood product, which is adapted for receiving a load in a direction perpendicular to a principal fiber direction of the wood, the method comprising: cutting a log along the principal fiber direction of the log, into a plurality of wood lamellae , such that the wood lamellae are formed as radial sections of the log, forming the wood lamellae to provide each wood lamella with a trapezoidal cross section, whereby the wood lamellae present a respective planar major base surface (bs1) that is formed at a radially outer part of the log closest to the bark of the log from which the lamella is formed and along a bark side of the log, and a respective planar minor base surface (bs2) that is formed at a radially inner part of the log close to the pith of the log and parallel with the major base surface (bs1), arranging the lamellae as at least one layer in which planar major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent lamellae face opposite directions, arranging the wood lamellae such that the major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent wood lamellae taper in opposite directions, and gluing together the lamellae side surface to side surface (ss1, ss2) such that a wood billet is formed, characterized in that the gluing comprises wet gluing, i.e. gluing at a moisture content of the wood lamellae greater than 25 % by dry mass, preferably greater than 30 % by dry mass, whereby the billet has a thickness which is more than 75 % of a radius of the log from which the lamellae were formed, preferably more than 80 % of such radius, more than 85 % of such radius, or more than 90 % of such radius, wherein the method further comprises cutting the billet along a plane which is parallel to the principal fiber direction, and preferably perpendicular to the base surfaces (bs1, bs2), thus forming a plurality of planks, subjecting the planks to a drying step, such as a kiln drying, and laminating together at least two dried planks and/or joined-together planks by gluing base surface (bs1, bs2) to base surface (bs2, bs1). cutting a log along the principal fiber direction of the log, into a plurality of wood lamellae , such that the wood lamellae are formed as radial sections of the log, forming the wood lamellae to provide each wood lamella with a trapezoidal cross section, whereby the wood lamellae present a respective planar major base surface (bs1) that is formed at a radially outer part of the log closest to the bark of the log from which the lamella is formed and along a bark side of the log, and a respective planar minor base surface (bs2) that is formed at a radially inner part of the log close to the pith of the log and parallel with the major base surface (bs1), arranging the lamellae as at least one layer in which planar major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent lamellae face opposite directions, arranging the wood lamellae such that the major base surfaces (bs1) of immediately adjacent wood lamellae taper in opposite directions, and gluing together the lamellae side surface to side surface (ss1, ss2) such that a wood billet is formed, characterized in that the gluing comprises wet gluing, i.e. gluing at a moisture content of the wood lamellae greater than 25 % by dry mass, preferably greater than 30 % by dry mass, whereby the billet has a thickness which is more than 75 % of a radius of the log from which the lamellae were formed, preferably more than 80 % of such radius, more than 85 % of such radius, or more than 90 % of such radius, wherein the method further comprises cutting the billet along a plane which is parallel to the principal fiber direction, and preferably perpendicular to the base surfaces (bs1, bs2), thus forming a plurality of planks, subjecting the planks to a drying step, such as a kiln drying, and laminating together at least two dried planks and/or joined-together planks by gluing base surface (bs1, bs2) to base surface (bs2, bs1). <EOS>
