          Appeal No. 98-1460                                         Page 7           
          Application No. 08/615,820                                                  


          flange material as recited in the claims under appeal.  We                  
          have also reviewed the entire disclosure of Keller and fail to              
          find any disclosure or suggestion therein to use oriented                   
          strand lumber (OSL) as an I-beam flange material.                           


               Since the applied prior art does not suggest the use of                
          oriented strand lumber (OSL) as an I-beam flange material as                
          recited in the claims under appeal, the decision of the                     
          examiner to reject claims 1 through 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103                
          is reversed.
