. Converting forest residue to structural flakeboard : the fingerling concept. Particle board; Wood waste Recycling. The Intermountain Station was to develop systems for harvesting western softwoods. The North Central Station was to develop machinery that could convert residues to finger- lings. The Forest Products Laboratory was to work out techniques for manufacturing flakeboard from fingerlings. This report covers progress in the research and development program through the Flakeboard Development and Performance phase shown in figure 1. The report describes fingerling production from large and small residues, systems and costs for harvesting residues, the manufacturing of structural flakeboard, and configuration and performance of experimental panels. THE FINGERLING CONCEPT A fingerling is a piece of wood approximately 2 to 3 inches long, with a cross section of less than 1 by 1 inch (fig. 2). Fingerling production is the first step in producing flakes for structural flakeboard. The first flakes used for structural flakeboard were manually split from blocks inches long. Later experiments used laboratory disk flakers to produce Figure 2.—Finger- lings: the first step in converting residue to flakeboard. 2.
