Here, at Issaquah Cedar & Lumber, we specialize in making hard to find products. A customer came to us looking to match his bevel, he had looked at the box stores and local lumber yards to no avail. He was looking for 1 1/4″ x 10″ tight knot bevel to match what was on his house. We were able to make it for him and save him from having to patch his wall with something that didn’t match, or worse case tear off everything on his wall and replace it with a “stock” item.

Why the Best Wood Isn’t Always the Same Wood
Four Pacific Northwest projects show how design intent, climate, maintenance, installation, and long-term performance influence material choices.
