The patent is for new crossbanding sheets for laminated furniture panels, made of a combination of glass fibers and celullose fibers held together by a binder extending throughout the sheet. The fibers are oriented perpendicular to the direction of the orientation of wood whips or grain in a wood core to which the crossbanding sheets are adhered. A decorative surface, preferably a hardwood veneer, is applied to the outer surface of one of the crossbanding sheets with the orientation parallel to that of the core. A backing sheet is adhered to the outer surface of the other of the crossbanding sheets with the orientation thereof parallel to the core. The decorative surface can also be a wood grain design imprinted directly on the outer surface of one of the crossbanding sheets. The crossbanding sheet can also serve as a backing sheet. Knowledge of furniture manufacture can aid in its conservation.
