Wooden tile and method for making same

摘要: Wooden tiles including a plurality of smaller rectangular blocks, flat grain or preferably end grain, are made by providing in each block at least one lateral groove extending parallel to and spaced inwardly from the edges block, longitudinal is side intersecting groove(s) right angle. When blocks aligned abutting relationship, either side, end, form tile desired pattern, grooves grid-like network continuous, rectilinear channels. The channels substantially filled with relatively flexible, synthetic plastic material capable becoming flowable upon being heated predetermined temperature hardening subsequent cooling. A portion diffused into wood immediate vicinity while state becomes bonded cooling thereby hold together yet permit movement relative other. In embodiment, preformed grid ribs which fit channel sufficient heat pressure applied top edge cause thereof become wood. another extruded effectively situ.
