Abstract:
1. A wood composite article having an exterior surface adapted to be exteriorly disposed and an opposite interior surface adapted to be interiorly disposed, said wood composite article reverse molded from a mat of refined cellulosic fibers and sufficient binder to adhere the cellulosic fibers together into a structurally sound article, said wood composite article comprising: planar surface portions lying in a first plane for adhering to a planar surface of a substrate, the planar surface portions having a first thickness and a first specific gravity, and a contoured portion simulating natural wood millwork and having a rounded top portion that has an increased density at a rounded apex and extending outwardly from said planar surface portions toward a second plane, the contoured portion having a second thickness that is less than the first thickness, the contoured portion further having a second specific gravity that is greater than the first specific gravity, said refined cellulosic fibers at said exterior surface of said contoured portion stretched more than said refined cellulosic fibers at said interior surface of said contoured portion.
