Summary:The increasing scarcity of high quality hardwoods makes it increasingly more difficult for manufacturers to produce quality solid wood furniture at an affordable price. The development of laminated veneer lumber (LVL), which is a solid wood composite product, makes it possible for lower prices. This paper attempts to identify applications and constructions where LVL can be used to best advantage, from both a structural and an economical point of view
