Clapboards, riven from white Oak, are a traditional roof form
utilized in the 17th and 18th centuries. We
purchase only the best veneer grade logs to produce clapboards
from. They are riven, drawknifed and straightened in our
premium grade or available in a rough grade as well. Standard
lengths of 54 inches are common, however we can provide custom
lengths if needed. We recommend tarring the roof with pine
tar on an annual basis.
Shingles and clapboards are some of the specialty products in
our inventory. We produce shingles in a variety of forms,
including hand split and sawn. Old Growth Cypress is our
principle wood for these shingles but we also produce shingles
from Juniper, Chestnut, and White Oak. Shingles are available
in lengths of 18-30 inches with butt thickness of 3/8-7/8 thickness. We
can work with you to produce the finish and look needed for your
project. We utilize traditional methods and equipment to
produce shingles that are split or riven and can match existing
materials and appearance. |
