Abstract

A manufactured or engineered wood panel, including, but not limited to, oriented strand board (OSB), with a block grid cut or engraved on one side. The block grid comprises a plurality of parallel longitudinal and parallel lateral grooves at certain spacings (e.g., quarter-inch, half-inch or one-inch), intersecting to form a block grid. The depth of all grooves may be the same and constant, or the depth may vary between grooves, or within a groove. The grooves allow a builder or other user to cut the board in desired dimensions along corresponding grooves. The grooves may be deep enough (i.e., greater than half the thickness of the board) so that the board may be broken or snapped into the desired dimensions. In several embodiments, the board may be broken or snapped by human hand pressure alone.
