   Friend,

   If this little helps, it's written somewhere that it was developed due to War II needs for materials. That'd be the feasibility of it, due to high-resources neded to make it in quantities.

   Before that, probably more than one person or group could make small pieces for limitted use.

   The industrial PROCESSES to make it are probably patented, but maybe not the fundamental principles.

   Interesting sbject and would like to hear more about it too.

   Thanks for posting this.

   Laminates of thin wood plies have been found in Egyptian tombs.

   Forms of plywood have been around for hundreds of years. 17th and 18th century craftman (Hepplewhite, Chippendale and others) laminated both solid wood cores and ply cores for some of their furniture.

   Large scale production began about the beginning of the 20th century.

   It's not a new thing.
