A type of engineered wood made from strips of wood glued together and sandwiched between thin wooden veneers.
Compound word from 'block' (pieces of wood) and 'board' (flat sheet). Developed in the early 20th century as an affordable alternative to solid hardwood.
Blockboard was invented as a clever way to use wood waste—manufacturers could glue together scrap wood strips and hide them under nice veneers, making cheap materials look expensive.
