I am not sure I understand your question. It is a sandwich. A 3 piece is a hamburger in a bun, bread on both sides, right? Put a slice of cheese on top and under the burger and close it. Now you have a 5 piece sandwich, right?

So, the burger is the core. The Bun is the top and back and the cheese is/are the laminates.

Was that the question? Close?..

In wood, your food looks like this;

Do not confuse the body laminates in the sandwich with the 'feature' stripes between the neck section and body wings.

Also, here are some side views of both 3 and 5 piece body wing sandwiches so you can see the differences between them. Left to right, the first two are 3pc without a contrasting laminate. The other two show the contrasting wood laminate making it a 5pc.;
