Abstract

A plastic sheet is extruded and a layer of redwood, cedar or other bark which has been finely separated is hot rolled into the two faces. The bark is decorative and also protects the sheets from ultraviolet light destruction. The sheets can then be hot worked into corrugated, design-embossed sheets and into many tubular or other hollow or open-sided shapes.
