Abstract
A wood product including a quantity of adhesive coated coarse wood particles disposed between a pair of cellulosic fiber webs is embossed in a heated press by means of a caul plate carrying a plurality of inserts adapted to impress a desired relief design comprising a plurality of adjacent but independent panel configurations in the wood product. The inserts are attached to the caul plate and extend to selected levels for compressing the wood product to different embossing levels characterizing each panel configuration. The individual caul inserts are machined to shape and are separately photo-etched to receive a desired decorative pattern thereon, after which the inserts are assembled onto the caul plate for impressing the wood product. The panel configurations produced in the wood product are suitably separated into substantially rigid, embossed furniture elements or parts having a carved or inlaid appearance.
