Shiplap 5/16"

This thin 5/16" shiplap paneling measures .312" thickness, authorizing the use of resawn four or five-quarter lumber for machining on an industrial-grade molder. The width is milled to any desired size within the equipment parameters to cut the pattern. The stylish profile contains a 1/4" wide by 1/8" deep rabbet on the face top left. The opposite side retains a 1/8" wide by 1/8" deep rabbet on the bottom. When two pieces of machined lumber join, they create a 1/8" channel gap between the merged boards.
