layers, the top layer being solid wood with a unidirectional grain
parallel to opposite edges of the panel, the bottom layer being
constructed of wood and having at least portions of its thickness with a
grain running perpendicular to the unidirectional grain, the middle layer
being an elastomeric material bonded to the top and bottom layers.
