Abstract

Laminated wood strip or plank flooring members are disclosed having adjacent edges of adjacent strip or plank members slightly reverse-beveled, i.e. 2.degree. to 7.degree. from vertical, to tightly fit together to provide precise, flush contact between adjacent upper surfaces of adjacent strips or planks. The strip or plank wood materials are provided in various lengths and various predetermined widths so that the random width and length strip or plank materials can be fitted together to provide a most unexpected and pleasing appearance wherein each adjacent strip or plank member is precisely fitted together and adjacent surface portions are substantially flush, or in contact.
