It's plywood fully painted on the inside, fully covered on the outside with thin tar paper, then covered with vinyl siding. This was my first experience working with vinyl siding, so I tried a few different ways to cut it, and found a fine tooth saw blade installed backwards in the table saw works best.
A metal cutoff saw blade that is wore down to around 12 inches, installed in a table saw works great for vinyl siding. A toothed blade can break siding if its a cold day in the fall, even installed backwards. You have to use a bushing on the arbor as a cutoff blade has a larger hole.
