The Nelson's cabin included some great siding: Haida Skirl. It is a hand planed tight-knot cedar with natural wane left on the bevel. This gives the rustic charm that the Nelson's were looking for. They had originally requested that we use a false log. Most of their neighbors in this mountain town have some sort of log application. I sent them to Lakeside Lumber, & after reviewing the options, they elected Skirl (and I was very happy).
The cabin is in an area receiving upwards of 100 inches of rainfall per year, & I felt that a cedar product would be a great choice for longevity. They also had felled some native cedars & had them milled on site. We were able to then size the lumber and get some cool trim lumber that matched perfectly. It was all double coated with Land Ark exterior finish (with fungicide & UV inhibitor.) It's a couple years old and looking great!
Some of the other exterior finishing touches included: Timber Truss', Wrapped Porch finished with TimberTech composite decking, chain's for downspouts, 1x4 tongue & groove cedar soffits, stained concrete patio, and custom, oversized alder doors. All in all, it makes for a great getaway.
Watch for more upcoming- it looks like we are getting to help add an outdoor firepit & gazebo with the same post-n-beam hybrid construction.
