Abstract
A wood-base building component of cellulosic particles and/or fibers and adhesive binder is, in a single pressing operation, molded into an integral product of sheathing and support members for use in constructing wood-frame buildings. The dies utilized during press-molding form a flat panel containing a plurality of evenly spaced channels that serve as support members to replace conventional framing such as studs, joists, and rafters. The integral product may serve as roof, wall, or flooring components in the usual wood-frame building applications.
