Abstract: A reverse molded wood composite door skin, comprises a molded wood composite panel having a first surface adapted to be exteriorly disposed and an opposite second surface adapted to be interiorly disposed in order to be adhesively secured to a surface. The panel comprises a major planar portion, at least one planar panel portion lying in a plane spaced from the plane of the major planar portion, and an outwardly extending contoured wall surrounding the planar panel portion and interconnecting and integral with the major planar portion and the at least one planar panel portion. The contoured wall extends outwardly from and relative to the first surface.

Abstract: A reverse molded, plant-on decorative panel component comprises a panel portion lying on a first plane, a skirt portion, and a contoured portion. The skirt portion has a first surface adapted to be exteriorly disposed and an opposite second surface adapted to be interiorly disposed in order to be adhesively secured to a planar surface. The contoured portion extends outwardly from and surrounds the panel portion and interconnects and is integral with the panel portion and the skirt portion. The skirt portion extends peripherally about the contoured portion.

Abstract: A reverse molded fiberboard panel; a wainscot kit comprising a plurality of differently sized reverse molded panels, and a planar finishing or spacer panel, adapted to completely cover any size wall between a wall base board and a wall chair rail; and a method of reverse molding a loose cellulosic mat, in a single pressing step, to provide one or more relatively high density, raised panels without requiring preliminary pressing, or other pre-shaping step, such as scalping. The reverse-molded panels are molded in a conventional, multi-opening fiberboard press, in a single pressing step process, while achieving excellent transfer of mold detail (embossing fidelity) without visually noticeable fiber fracture.

Abstract: An embossed, decorative, man-made embossed article having an embossed surface portion containing at least about 80% by weight cellulosic fibers and sufficient binder to adhere the cellulosic fibers together into a structurally sound article having a specific gravity in the range of 0.96 to 1.08, a surface of said article having a pattern of embossed ticks stained to visually distinguish the embossed ticks from surrounding surface portions of said article, said embossed ticks formed in elongated bundles to replicate a wood grain pattern, said embossed ticks and said bundles of ticks satisfying the following criteria: (a) at least 90% of said embossed ticks, in bundles of three or more adjacent ticks, are spaced at least 0.016 inch; (b) at least 90% of said embossed ticks are embossed a depth in the range of 0.003 inch to 0.
