Energy Use - Wood products require much less energy to produce than concrete or steel. An independent comparison of the energy needed to obtain, manufacture, transport and install building materials for identical wood frame, steel frame and concrete houses proves wood's environmental superiority over alternative materials. The result is more fossil fuels saved with less air and water pollution.

Environmental Impact - Wood has the lowest impact on air and water quality. This is especially true when compared to the manufacture of recycled steel. Forest regeneration also creates more trees which benefit the environment while they grow, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

Wood is the Natural Choice when it comes to beautiful and effective cladding for your home or structure. Wood surpasses steel and concrete in the following categories: * Energy use * Environment impact * Resource use

* Green Building * Pollution

Pollution - Wood product manufacturing produces far fewer greenhouse gases.

A little about Rough Rider...

Time Captured Panelings and Sidings

The Rough Rider Eternity Enhanced Finish starts out with a light natural coloring, which over time, (depending on exposure to moisture and sunlight) will deepen to a rustic silver/brown patina.

The Eternity Enhanced with Shades Finish provides a hint of color that will require ongoing care and reapplication to maintain and is available in Saddle Brown and Granite Grey.

Maturing Color Newly finished Rough Rider Paneling and Siding will have a light, natural color as shown to the right. Only after the exposure to UV and moisture will the coloring begin to deepen. Areas subjected to more light and moisture will mature quicker. For more consistent coloring and instant curb appeal, select our prestained Eternity Enhanced with Shades in Granite Grey and Saddle Brown.

A step back in time, ROUGH RIDER® rustic premium panelings and sidings employ a unique process that transforms new wood, giving it a deep texture and a contoured raised grain, replicating the appearance of years of weathering. Old and new unite for a time captured rustic look with performance that withstands the tests of time.

The Influence of Time... The Experience of Nature We make wood look nothing like its age...

Rough Rider® Siding and Panelings starts with freshly milled boards; after drying, we apply an eight-step proprietary process to transform the look of the wood from new to aged.

The process keeps the integrity of the wood in check, and the finish gives it the protection it needs to battle the forces of nature. The Rough Rider Eternity Enhanced Finish will continue to change, expect variability due to exposure to sun and rain and of course time.

Rough Rider just keeps getting better looking as it gets older, and keeps performing.

It looks custom made... because it is.

Using only the tools of a frontiersman and techniques that have been passed down through generations, we have created the TRAPPER’S LODGE Hand Crafted Rustic Hewn line of timber siding and trim. We start with mighty White Pine, harvested from the forests of the Lake Superior region. Sourced locally, we then utilize local craftsmen and a variety of draw knives to create a one-of-a kind textured finish. Each board bears the unique scars from the knives that, when finished, create dark contrasting crevasses.

26

The TRAPPER’S LODGE siding installs easily over conventional framing and is available in sizes 2x8 - 2x12.

Coordinating window and door trim also features the same rustic sculpturing and are available in a large range of sizes and outside corner options. To further enhance and protect the siding and trim, we offer the VX Pro Factory Prefinishing Service - full protection for your natural wood exterior, available in a variety of attractive shades.

A 2x10 Trapper’s Lodge addition was constructed and blended with the original log cabin, respecting the heritage of the family retreat while allowing for the new traditions that are to come.

The artisan-crafted addition features TRAPPER’S LODGE Timber Siding and provides uniqueness in quality, craftsmanship and design.

The TRAPPER’S LODGE line is custom-made by hand using a series of draw knives. We have created two descriptions to identify the intensity of the marks and gouges that are applied to the wood. Cozy Cottage utilizes more of a “scraping” technique that limits the depth and the volume of the marks; it appears to have more knife chatter and an eased knife edge. The Original Trapper’s Lodge bites harder into the wood leaving deeper gouges and tears, a more “pioneer” look; it also includes an eased knife edge. Whether you go light with Cozy Cottage or heavy with the Original Trapper’s Lodge, you are assured to have a “One-of-a-Kind” look for your home. Our Minnesota craftsmen make a variety of sidings, trims and corners - let us make something special just for you!

3 Coat System—The base coat seals the wood to protect it from harmful UV rays and damage from moisture. The base coat not only promotes dimensional stability, it also provides an excellent surface for top coat applications. We then apply two layers of the top coat to fortify the UV resistance and to obtain the final desired color.

Clean Clear Finishes Don’t Come Easy!

It is more than what is being applied to the wood.

Lake States Lumber controls the process from start to finish. We take care to ensure the wood is at proper temperature and moisture content before the process begins. Then, our first step is to sand the paneling, removing mill glaze and any imperfections.

We then apply three coats of our ultra clear UV finish, carefully sanding between each coat. The finish is applied to both the front and back of the paneling to limit the exposure to moisture and minimize the expansion and contraction of the wood. The paneling is visually inspected three times throughout the process to ensure quality.

Lake States Lumber also offers our Advantage Plus Line of Pre-Stained Panelings with a great selection of colors to choose from (pictured below) along with custom capabilities.

As a manufacturer and wholesale distributor, Lake States Lumber has control of our products from start to finish. We start with a better stick of wood and add the perfect mix of technology and experience to create high performing sidings and panelings. We hand-grade our patterns after the milling is complete to provide only the best that the grade offers. Now with a great start, we apply a great finish. The VX Pro Factory Finish utilizes a three-coat system to protect the wood from the harmful effects of UV and moisture.

By managing all stages,

Lake States Lumber can control all aspects of production to create the very best. No shortcuts allowed!

Thermally Modified Wood

evolutions

VX PRO Factory-finished natural wood siding, when coated on all sides, stabilizes the moisture content of the siding, thereby reducing excessive shrinking and swelling of the material. Factory finishing assures a longer lasting and higher quality job than traditional “on-site” applications. This ensures more complete protection from nature’s elements.

Protecting the integrity of the wood and preserving the natural beauty of the wood siding.

Sustainable ö Local ö Durable ö Beautiful

Naturally modified wood with supernatural performance.

The Science behind the Product: Thermal Modification changes the chemical structure of the wood. The process changes both the physical and biological properties of wood, hindering its ability to reabsorb moisture. Additionally, through the transformation process, the sugars found in wood are converted into a natural substance that cannot be digested by insects and that does not contribute to fungus or mold growth.

11/16 x 8 Rough Sawn Western Red Cedar Bevel Siding with the VX Pro Factory Finish: Moosewoods

The results of the modification give EVOLUTIONS Thermally Modified Wood significant advantages against the elements: • Outstanding Dimension Stability - Greatly reducing wood’s natural tendency to warp, cup and shrink • Durability - Excellent performance against the elements • Natural resistance to rot and decay • Exceptional performance with paints / stains / glues due to the low moisture content - Can be painted / stained immediately • Attractive golden brown color with Pine and dark tones with hardwood species The enhanced durability and performance make EVOLUTIONS an excellent choice for the eco-conscience consumer, but the advantages don’t stop there...

Some would have you believe that the responsible way to “Build Green” would be to eliminate all wood products. Reforestration and the harvest of trees has to remain in balance in order to maintain the long-term success of our industry. Wood is a naturally renewable resource and consumes the least

amount of energy in its production to become a building product. The performance of wood is undisputable and its natural characteristics are the reason why it has withstood the test of time. Performance and natural beauty, the “green” solution is real wood.

MATCHLOCK Premium End Matched Paneling featured in Locally Grown Premium Hickory with the Ultra Clear Advantage Factory Prefinish

The forests of Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota have always been rich with a variety of hardwood species. Careful planning, harvesting and reforestration has kept our forests strong. The strength of this resource has had a tremendous impact on the local economies of these northern towns and for the people who live and work there. For many who own cabins in these areas, keeping these towns strong greatly enhances the time spent up north and their property investment.
