One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for creating panels to simulate the real light tracing ability of wood fibers, and the light refractive properties of real wood figure. High light refractive man-made fibers can be molded into 3D figured panels which may then be filled with clear resin to magnify and to duplicate the light refractivity of wood figure. A protective backing material can be applied to the rear of the molded fiber panel, to provide a flat surface, and/or for adherence purposes. Rather, the 3D figured panels may also be machined into flat fiber panels to reveal a visual 3D surface that simulates the light refractivity of wood figure.
