This high-quality shake features a rough split face and sawn back. Popular on traditional, ranch, vacation homes or non-residential structures designed to blend with the natural and/or rustic surroundings.
Long-term protection from fungal decay is provided with factory pressure treatment of preservatives that will extend the life of roof or sidewall applications.

These shakes have split faces and sawn backs. Which is different than taper-sawn cedar shakes which are sawn on both sides. Cedar logs are first cut into desired lengths. Blanks or boards of proper thickness are split and then run diagonally through a bandsaw to produce two tapered shakes from each blank. Available in Number 1 Grade (Up to 20% flat grain allowed in each bundle).
