Shiplap Moulding 5-7/16" - 6

This attractive drop shiplap siding 5-7/16" - 6 measures 5.437" wide by .718" thickness, enabling the detail to be milled out of four quarter lumber. The functional profile is designed to wick moisture away from the joint and onto the exposed face side. The pattern comprises two 2-1/2" wide, 8.48-degree drop bevels with 1/16" radiuses at the points. These rounded edges will enhance the product's ability to hold paint or stain while simultaneously creating a drip edge for moisture. The rabbet on the backside measures 7/16" wide by 23/64" tall. When two pieces of finished milled lumber are joined together, the exposed face dimension will be five inches wide.
