What is the width of your Clabbered Siding
May sound strange but I have replaced the resaw mill that I lost in a Fire and will be producing Clabbed Siding and Shingles for sale. I am setting up sizes and was wondering what different people have, especially the older one. I will be primary producing Poplar siding which is quite termite resistant.

seems to me its an 8" exposure using 10" boards... Not sure but that sounds like what I've seen and heard...
What are you using for a resaw? Your WM lt40?
edit to add: that's the older "wider" look.
I think the new fake stuff you buy is like 5.25" with a 4" exposure... depends on what look you're after.
I'd offer both.

Okay, this 63 year old has to ask what clabbed siding is as I can't find an online definition and it is not in my dictionary.
Is it similar to clapboard but maybe not wedge shaped?

I think he meant clapboard, since it matches his description.
The only other kind I know of would be ship-lapped

I believe clapboard siding is what is being discussed.

mmm funny I didn't even noticed how he spelled it....
Some call it lap siding or beveled siding... I'm still interested on what ol sawing is using to get the wedge shape...
On a bit of a different thought while thinking about siding, one cool idea I've seen on buildings is saw 8 or 10" boards. Paint the plywood siding and then nail the boards with a space in between. It will look from a distance like a 'log' building. The painted plywood looks like the chinking and the boards like logs... neat cheap idea

I'll measure mine for you...seems like 6" comes to mind for some reason. The 6" (smaller size is just about the only thing you see in central Indiana.)
If you'll advertise your affordable product with the old house restoration groups, you will make a ton of money.
Replacement clapboard siding is hard to find around here, and pricey when you do.

I saw 8" on my Woodmizer, and have 6" exposure on the installed siding.
Here's some on a couple of portable firewood sheds I built, and the siding on the shop building in the background is the same thing.

What I have seen most often on houses has been 8" wide with 7 -7.25 exposed. By the way, most of the older houses around my area used standard boards, not resawn. However, I have seen a lot of sheds and cribs where people used randum width, some up to 26" wide. But it would not work as well on modern houses due to the size.

I am using the new HR120 from Woodmizer and what I am looking at will be 6 inch cedar and poplar. It has 1/4 inch on one side and 3/4 on the other. I figure the bottam three rows out of cedar and the rest out of poplar which is very termite resistant.

Well a 6" board will only have a 4" reveal, thats pretty shallow but would probably look pretty good.

I really appreciate the English lesson that you have given me. I understand that with the lack of education I am not worthy of your time but with practical experience in welding, fabrication, electronics, farming and being a sawyer that would help this forum. I now understand that an English major would be of more use.
Thank You again a better understanding of what is needed here.

My western red cedar clapboard is 6" w/ 4" coverage. 1/2 " down to 1/8-3/16".
I've seen other woods like Pine come 8" w/ 6" coverage, thicker.

Thats an interesting saw, hadn't seen one of those yet. Probably make more money selling clapboard than just boards too.

Wood people speak in similar tongues . Woulda thunk spelling nazis would show up on a wood thread.

I will be offering Poplar and Cedar at 6" unless special order. This appears to be the strongest compromise. I will air dry to 19% which makes the cut for stabity.
I figure the first three runs out of cedar and the rest out of poplar will make a fine 100 year wall if treated properly
