Definition
odd number of sheets layered in opp directions need to be in same direction on both end sides this is why there is an odd number of sheets comes in a lot of thicknesses resistance to cracking, shrinkage, and twisting/war Plywood is manufactured from sheets of cross-laminated veneer and bonded under heat and pressure with durable, moisture-resistant adhesives.

Term
glued laminated tember
Definition
(glulam) is composed of several layers of dimensional timber glued together with moisture-resistant adhesives, creating a large, strong, structural member that can be used as vertical columns or horizontal beams. Glulam can also be produced in curved shapes, offering extensive design flexibility.
Term
laminated strand lumber
Definition
flaked wood strands that have a high length-to-thickness ratio. Combined with an adhesive, the strands are oriented and formed into a large mat or billet and pressed.
