Reverse molded panel

A reverse molded wood composite panel having an exterior surface adapted to be exteriorly disposed and an opposite interior surface adapted to be interiorly disposed, said wood composite panel reverse molded from a mat of refined cellulosic fibers and sufficient binder to adhere the cellulosic fibers together into a structurally sound article, said reverse molded wood composite panel comprising:

• a major planar portion lying in a first plane, the interior surface of said major planar portion being a back surface adapted to be interiorly disposed in order to be adhesively secured to a surface, said major planar portion having a first thickness and a first specific gravity,
• a planar panel portion lying in a second plane different than the first plane of said major planar portion, and
• a contoured portion having a rounded top portion that has an increased density at a rounded apex and extending outwardly from and relative to said first plane and interconnecting and integral with said major planar portion and said planar panel portion, said contoured portion having a second thickness that is less than said first thickness, said contoured portion further having a second specific gravity that is greater than the first specific gravity, said refined cellulosic fibers at said exterior surface of said contoured portion stretched more than said refined cellulosic fibers at said interior surface of said contoured portion.
