New Olympic Handsplit Sid:ns
Bleachtox is not a pigmented stain, but contains special materials that r,r'eather the wood itself.
Olympic Handsplit Siding is reasonable in price, sayq Mr. Bailey, costing little more than ordinary sawn cedar siding. The texture obtained by the use of this custommade wood siding is impossible to obtain in any other material. The variations in butt thickness, and the roughness of the surface, gives an appearance that is exceptionally effective for many styles of modern architecture.

A beautiful new siding has been developed by Olympic (West Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle), a natural wood product that has a beautiful texture, an exceptionally rugged character and a heavy shadow line. Olympic Handsplit Siding is actually cut by hand with froe and maul from specially selected cedar trees. "This cedar is first split in thicknesses of I" to 2", in widths desired," says Philip W. Bailey, owner, "and then these same slabs are resawn to obtain a bevelled siding with a handsplit face and a resawn back, making it easier to lay. The butts of this siding will run lrom fu" to If" in thickness and the tapered edge 'rvill run down to %" in thickness. Lengths vary from 6" to 14', which takes the finest cedar available to cut this remarkable product."
To enhance the beauty of this Olympic Handsplit Siding, it is prestained at the factory in the finest quality Olympic stain, ranging from beachwood gray, seafoam g'reen, chamois, down through the California rustic and russet brown. A very unusual effect is acquired with the new Bleachtox treatment, a weathering agent that actually changes the color of the wood to a lovely silver gray color, much like driftwood on salt water beaches.
