New rustic redwood siding pattern

ECENTLY in markets across the West, redwood lumber sidings including knot containing grades have been introduced. Pacific Lumber Co., for example, has a type of rustic redwood siding in a traditional bevel pattern which has an exceptionally thick butt.

Now the company is also making Palco rustic redwood in a rabbeted bevel pattern with the distinct new advantage of considerably thicker pieces than traditional rabbeted sidings. Traditional rabbeted patterns have been popular in clear grades of redwood for many years. However, rustic redwood provides a thicker exposed butt. Also, the knots are more secure in the thicker siding pieces.

The shape of their rabbeted pattern has a self-aligning advantage in the siding application. Many siding applicators brag that they can apply the rabbeted pattern with only one man.

Another advantage is that nail driving is easy because the back surface of the rabbeted siding is flush against the sheathing or flush against stud surfaces when applied direct to studs.

The air-seasoned advantages, saw-textured characteristic, finishing recommendations, etc. are fully described on Palco literature sheets, available from the company.

Palco rabbeted sizes, currently available, are the nominal lVr x 6, Pattern #472 and lVt x 8, Pattern #473. Additional widths are available on special orders. The long lengths, random 6/20', advantageously fit in many wall areas with very few butt joints.
