Abstract
A wood grain finish to a pultruded part is obtained by applying to a surface of the part before entering the die a strip carrying male projections shaped in differential depths and spacing across the width of the part to form a simulated wood grain pattern. The strip is then removed after the part is set leaving recesses in the outside surface which provide a simulated wood grain finish which can be differentially stained.
