3. Board Width: Milled on the inch either fixed width (2 - 12 inches) or random.  Specified widths are an option.
4. Face: Original (with saw marks and character), Milled (smooth), or Hit-and-Miss. Unlike a wall board, which will be touched, ceiling boards may be more rustic if desired.

6. Other: boards may also be straight-lined (S3S or S4S), without the T&G.

The wood ceilings of this hunting lodge are custom sawn from the log and custom milled, T&G, rough sawn new Hemlock.  The original rough sawn face was preserved.  Board widths are 4, 5 and 6 inches.  The Hemlock in the Blue Ridge Mountains is being blighted by the wooly adelgid.
