So they are 8" panels made up of smaller boards?
Why would these exist?
They can't be scrap, and it doesn't make sense to put labor in to making
them.


Home Depot carries boards glued up pine from 12" to 24". They are good for
shelving or any place you need a wide board and don't have the facilities to
do a proper glue up. The oak my have been a similar thing. All the beauty
of oak, but a way to use up all that 2" stock that does not fetch a good
price at the wood dealers. May have been used as shelving so the seller
could brag a bout using solid oak.
