Abstract
Molded wood-based decorative articles can be prepared by first laminating a paper sheet to a shaped, wood-based substrate, e.g., natural wood or a man-made board, preferably fiberboard, prior to applying a moldable cellulosic composition over at least one outer surface of the paper overlay. Surprisingly, the moldable cellulosic composition has excellent adherence to the paper overlay, so long as the paper does not have an anti-stick coating, such as a silicone or other lubricious surface treatment. The preferred paper is kraft paper that has no surface coating. After adhering the paper to the shaped, wood-based article, the moldable cellulose-based composition is applied to one or more outer surfaces of the paper overlay in a thickness of preferably in the range of {fraction (1/32)} inch to 1.0 inch and the cellulosic composition then is molded to form a decorative pattern on one or more outer surfaces of the paper overlay. The article then is coated with a decorative coating material, such as a water-or oil-based paint or powder coating, single or multiple coats, over both the molded cellulosic composition and paper overlay to provide exceptional aesthetics.
