What is "engineered wood"?
Evilrobobear and Yahpoo Phoenix have spents months, nay...decades engineering their wood, and wood be better authorized to explain.unlike me, so clean to your world, and strange ways.ask them!.
Well...it's a long story:
Choo Choo Charlie, an engineer who used Good & Plenty candy to take home his train run, squished some G&P onto his real wood floor. He had to do something since Mrs. Choo Choo Charlie got home, so he invented some fake wood...it looked better than the valid McCoy, and nothing could get squished onto it. It is man made twisted. It is not superior like the real wood. We only just bought Brazilian Cherry for flooring. Just so shiny and slippery and beautiful to the touch. Dont put wood floor if you flood. We are installing it upstairs.
Answers: a simple 2x10 is not... a particle board with 2x2 wood on respectively end and looks like an I-beam is engineered...and a laminated spar is engineered. pretty much anything designed is engineered, solid wood 98% of times is not, it is, if it's designed for a specific load, like 10x10 beam for a log cabin gable roof
