Composite siding with improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration and false chinking joint

A composite siding with a false chink joint comprising:

• at least one composite siding panel having:
• an external panel surface configured to present a solid planar wood log siding;
• an internal panel surface configured to be joined to a pre-existing surface;
• at least one integral tapered interlaced joint element having no end-grain presentation;
• and
• at least one lateral attachment channel;
• at least one terminal facade cap presenting an continuous end-grain surface perpendicularly secured to said tapered interlaced joint element forming a continuous interlaced joint surface wherein said integral tapered interlaced joint elements are physically interlaced one with another such that said continuous end-grain surface is alternatively presented when composite siding panels are stacked forming said interlaced end-grain corner joint configuration;
• a integral fitted miter joint securing said terminal facade cap presenting an continuous end-grain surface perpendicularly to said tapered interlaced joint element;
• at least one false chink joint insert having:
• at least one false chink joint insert attachment configured to be secured into said lateral attachment channel of said composite siding panel securing composite siding panels;
• and
• a false chinking joint surface externally presented between said joined composite siding panels;
• and
• at least one layer of elastomeric material affixed to the external surface of said false chinking joint surface externally presenting the appearance of a chink joint;
• wherein said terminal façade caps each presenting said continuous end-grain surface are alternatingly stacked to create an outwardly extending interlaced end-grain corner joint configuration where said terminal façade caps completely extend past adjacent stacked external panel surfaces.

A pliant false chink joint comprising:

• at least one siding panel having at least one lateral attachment channel,
• at least one false chink joint insert having:
• a false chink joint insert attachment wherein said attachment is configured to be secured into said lateral attachment channel;
• and
• a false chink joint surface externally presented between joined composite siding panels;
• at least one layer of non-adhesive material affixed to the surface of the lateral edges of said false chink joint insert attachment;
• and
• at least one layer of elastomeric material affixed to the external surface of said false chinking joint surface wherein elastomeric material does not adhere to said non-adhesive material affixed to the surface of the lateral edges of said false chink joint insert attachment forming a partially detached elastomeric surface along the lateral edges of said false chink joint insert attachment corresponding with the placement of said non-adhesive material wherein said non-adhesive material is configured to become detached from said elastomeric material in response to expansion and/or contraction of said siding panel or said false chink joint insert attachment.
