Lqm loc Antique Cedqr

Glue laminating has produced a beautiful new wall panelling from California fncense Cedar. For years lumbermen have searched for a practical way to use Pecky-type Incense Cedar. Unfortunately, in the natural lumber, the beautiful Pecky type is interspersed with extremely large holes. Now, by laminating a veneer of this beautiful wood with other Cedar boards, advantage is taken of the full effect of the Pecky type, without having the unsightly holes (illustrated below).

Lam Loc Antique Cedar is beautiful as an interior wall panelling, particularly when sand-blasted. It is attractive for use in dens, playrooms or a highlighted panel around a fireplace. Also, this same Lam Loc Cedar, rough sawn, is very attractive for boards and batts on exterior lvalls, r,vhere a rough texture is desirable-mountain cabins

Lam Loc Antique Cedar is glued with the same care and the same equipment that is used in making Fountain Lam Loc Timbers, now being used instead of ordinary sa\^rn timbers r,l'herever extra strength-long spans and beauty are important. Distribution is made through the local lumber dealer by Ed Fountain Lumber Co., Los Angeles.
