Patent ID: 7410687

Claim:
A composite, comprising: a crystalline polymer; a plurality of wood fibers blended with the crystalline polymer to form a substantially homogenous blend; an outer surface of the composite; and an amorphous polymer having a first color, said amorphous polymer being free of wood fibers of other fillers, and the substantially homogenous blend of the crystalline polymer and the plurality of wood fibers has a second color different from the first color, wherein the composite includes a substantially immiscible mixture of the substantially homogenous blend and the amorphous polymer, such that the first color associated with the amorphous polymer does not blend with the second color associated with the substantially homogenous blend, and wherein the outer surface includes the substantially immiscible mixture of the substantially homogenous blend and the amorphous polymer, the first color being distributed predominantly on the outer surface of the composite such that the amorphous polymer and the first color are not uniformly distributed throughout the composite.
