Abstract
A method of manufacturing a glue laminated structural wood member (10) for bearing a structural load (16) includes bonding together multiple elongate wood segments (12) and a synthetic fiber reinforcement (24, 30) with their lengths generally aligned with the length of the member. The synthetic fiber reinforcement includes multiple synthetic fiber strands (52, 54) held within a resin matrix (56) and low cost fiber edges.
