Gum Ridge Mill Walls

Wall boards at Gum Ridge Mill are custom run, 3/4 inch thick, T&G, for the shiplap look.

1. Reclaimed Wood Species: Poplar (gray-board or brown-board),Oak, American Chestnut, White Pine, Yellow Pine and Heart Pine.
2. New Wood Species: Typically Poplar and White Pine.  Other woods are available based on client specs.
3. Board Width: Milled on the inch either random (4 - 12 inches) or fixed width. Specified widths are an option.
4. Face: Original (with saw marks and character), Milled (smooth), or Hit-and-Miss. Original Face is typically brushed and/or lightly sanded to soften the texture.
5. T&G Options: tight joint, 1/16 inch gap, V-groove.
6. Other: boards may also be straight-lined (S3S or S4S), without the T&G.

This clear (no knots) poplar wall paneling was custom sawed from the log and custom milled.  The planks are 9 inches wide, 3/4 inch thick, tongue & groove (T&G), with 1/16 inch custom gap between the boards for the classic shiplap look.  Rather than paint, the paneling is finished with Waterlox Satin Finish.
