Patent ID: 8202389

Claim:
A method of making a composite floor board, comprising: forming a composite veneer panel by bonding a plurality of veneer layers together such that grain orientations of each layer are unidirectional in a first horizontal direction, wherein glue layers are formed between the veneer layers and extend horizontally; sawing the composite veneer panel into a plurality of wooden veneer structures after forming the composite veneer panel; assembling a core layer, after sawing the veneer panel, by arranging the plurality of wooden veneer structures such that the glue layers of the wooden veneer structures extend vertically while grain directions of each wooden veneer structure remain extending in the first horizontal direction; bonding a top layer having a wood grain orientation in a second horizontal direction to a first surface of the core layer to form a floor board, wherein second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction; and processing at least one edge of the floor board, after bonding, to form a coupling profile, wherein the glue layers of the wooden veneer structures provide a moisture barrier for the floor board.
