DOUBLE A TAPERSAWN
| Thanks to a leap in
technology, Anglo American Cedar Products is now able to produce
the smoothest tapersawn shakes available anywhere in thickness
of 5/8" to 1½". Our new computer guided
bandsaws eliminate circular grooves on the faces and the
thick/thin variations inherent in traditional sawing
methods. The result is a 100% edge grain shake which is
highly resistant to cupping and curling and lays down smoother
than any other wood product on the market. In fact, when
we're so convinced of the lasting nature of these shakes that
we've given them a 50 year limited warranty!
