Abstract:
The invention relates to methods to thermally treat wood (e.g., flat-grain timber) to produce wood with enhanced color and/or weathering properties.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of using timber boards with a substantially flat grain to produce a laminated board with enhanced dimensional stability and aesthetic characteristics, the method comprising:\n a. taking at least two timber boards originally cut from a tree in a substantially flat grain orientation; b. laminating a flat grain face of each board together by gluing to produce a laminated block; c. cutting the laminated block substantially perpendicular to the grain to produce laminated boards comprising a front and back face having the appearance of a substantially vertical grain and showing at least one glue line wherein the method comprises treatment and colouring of the timber boards, laminated block or laminated boards by thermal modification.
