Abstract: The invention relates to a composite siding system with interlaced end-grain corner configuration that more accurately simulates the appearance of solid or shaped wood log siding. The invention provides for a series of alternating horizontal siding elements which may be joined to a pre-constructed structure utilizing an improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration. The inventive technology specifically describes a composite siding panel system with an improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration having an internally securable fitted corner joint connection. Additionally, the invention describes a composite siding panel system with a false chinking joint as well as modifications to mitigate moisture expansion type joint damage.

Abstract: An aesthetically pleasing endless cornered wood siding resembling solid wood paneling system providing, in some embodiments, a continuous flow of wood grain from one side of a panel, around a corner, to an other side of the paneling which may include an internal chamber system perhaps having spaced internal core elements or the like.
