Generated explanation

The illustration shows enlarged, peeled-back views of plywood and composite siding panels in three-layer and five-layer configurations. The plywood panels consist of wood veneers with adjacent layers oriented in alternating grain directions, indicated by arrows. The composite panels combine wood veneer with wood fiber layers. A small panel sketch identifies an edge area for enlargement. The drawing explains panel construction rather than depicting installation details or defects.
