Sadly not quite... The thicker boards have glass fibre threads in

My new thing for today, won't get caught now. B-)

Can you not open the cut over the batten and slice the threads or are
they random through the body rather than descrete layers of open weave
matting?



They seem to be pretty random fibres. Not very thick, but enough to
mean that snapping doesn't work all that well if you're looking for a
clean edge.
