they use "compressed" beechwood that is
glues to the spruce blade blank using a tapered joint.  What do they
mean by
compressed?


A process which is becoming popular for engineered hardwood floors is to
compress the sheets of wood prior to making plywood with it. It is usually
done with rollers. The plywood is also cured under more pressure that used
to be the norm.
