Yes. Tricky thing is plywood uses veneers (very thin pieces) because wood expands at about a 10x different rate in width versus length, so cross-laminated joint

Yes. Tricky thing is plywood uses veneers (very thin pieces) because wood expands at about a 10x different rate in width versus length, so cross-laminated joints can be subject to an incredible amount of stress. The thin veneers cannot develop enough stress to break the glue joint.
- mysterypie 7y ago> so cross-laminated joints can be subject to an incredible amount of stress OK, plywood overcomes the stress by having very thin laminates. So how does CLT overcome the stress due to different width vs length expansion rates? Shouldn't the problem be much worse with thick laminates?
