I'm glad someone read my book.

It is hard to provide enough compression strength. Since the fabric provides more tensile strength, it makes sense to install this reinforcement where it works. This is on the inside. The fabric on the outside protects the wood from water and scratches, and does its best to prevent denting and bruising.
