NO.CHECK SIDING

(Continued lrom Page 21) checking is accomplished through a series of knife-thin striations or channels spaced on t/1" centers and running the Iong lvay of the panel. The striations are .080 inch deep, roughly two-thirds the thickness oI the face veneer. This reduction in thick. ness causes the checkine to be confined to the hottoms of the striaiions while the surface remains undisturbed. with no dam,rse to the paint finish.

Repair patches in the face of the panels are much less noticeable than in other olvwood panels" and frequently are ,".n oniy after close examination,

At a distance o{ 15 to 20 feet the NeCheck striations are not visible, and the appearance is that of any sound plywood panel. To provide a variety of architectural effects, surface patterns include plain straited panels as well as Texture l-11 and channel groove, a reverse board.and-batten. Panel sizes are 4' x 8', 9/, and 10,.

Another Pope & Talbot specialty plywood is Rufi-Cut, a saw-textured panel, in the same surface patterns and panel sizes.

Pope & Talbot's plywood department is represented in California by Rolf Stolesen of Palo AIto. Stolesen is well knolvn in California plywood and construction circles, having merchandised plywood proclucts irr this area since his discharse from the U.S.

Marine Corps in 1946. Until sprirrg of this year he had been sales manager of Durable Plywood Company.

Other products of Pope & Talbot include dry and green lumber manufactured at Port Gamble, Washington, and St. Helens and Oakridge, Oregon. Also manufactured at Oakridge are particleboard and flakeboard. And now in the final shakedown stages is a new $3.5 million hardboard plant which will produce 130 million feet of products a year.

If there is a moral to be drawn from this story it is this: you can always be young in philosophy, and trade the rocking chair for a long forward look-even at the age of I15!
