Bevel Siding with a square butt end is traditionally know as Clapboard Siding. Bevel Siding with a notched butt end is known as "Dolly Varden" or Rabbeted Bevel. Bevel cedar siding is popular for the traditional look and cedar's natural resistance to the elements.
Installed the thick butt edge over laps the thin creating an excellent weather barrier so that rainwater is shed from the siding. The minimum recommended board overlap at installation for 6" and 8" widths is 1 inch. Wider boards require greater overlap of 1 1/4th to 1 1/2 inch.
BEVEL WOOD SIDING can be milled into 3 different thickness - THIN, STANDARD AND THICK - each with its own price point.
BEVEL CEDAR SIDING THICKNESS IS MEASURED AT THE BUTT END
Bevel Siding is milled by resawing lumber at an angle to produce two pieces thicker on one edge than the other. The Bevel pattern has a triangular profile with a thick butt and a thin upper edge. BEVEL Lap siding should be installed with the lower thicker bevel butt edge overlapping the thin edge which results in an attractive shadow line.
PRICES
Bevel Cedar Siding Prices
Understanding our Prices. We price bevel cedar siding by the square foot. Give us a call to speak with one of our wood siding experts about price per square foot. If you know your approximate square footage, our wood siding experts can multiply it by the price per square foot so that you have a better idea of what your bevel cedar siding will cost you. Price per square foot changes based on quantity or volume ordered. The finish price may include your cedar siding plus one coat factory stained or primed.
BEVEL Siding Pattern Prices
We give “ballpark” prices to help you plan your project. Due to global uncertainty we are unable to guarantee those prices because prices may fluctuate. Price is only locked in once you've placed your order.
Please call 877-960-9663 or email sales@buffalolumber.com for updated pricing on all projects. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
The finish price may include your cedar wood siding plus one coat factory stained or primed.
If you select PRIME + PAINT, the Primer coat will be evenly applied on all 4 sides. When its time for top paint coat, the machine's bottom jets are turned down to make sure the top coat is even thickness with no splash back. This will minimize the paint that gets on the backside and under laps. We recommend factory prime plus one top coat with a 2nd coat after installation in field.

PATTERNS
BEVEL PATTERNS
BEVEL Siding includes 2 Pattern Profiles: CLAPBOARD (NO RABBET) AND DOLLY VARDEN (RABBETED)
BEVEL CLAPBOARD PATTERN - NO RABBET
BEVEL DOLLY VARDEN PATTERN - RABBETED
The Rabetted Bevel - Dolly Varden pattern features a 1/2" - 3/4" notch in the thicker butt end of the board. This rabbeted edge cut allows the bevel siding panels to fit together in such a way as to protect joints from water infiltration. The Dolly Varden Rabbeted Bevel profile is an easier install while providing the same traditional bevel style and appearance. You will appreciate both the beauty of our rabbeted bevel clapboard siding as well as the ease of installation.

GRADES
Bevel Cedar Siding Grades
(The Buffalo Lumber Interpretation)
We created Buffalo Lumber's four interpreted grade categories to describe wood grades for different softwood species - especially cedar - in terms a layman can understand because there are several lumber ruling bodies (WWPA, WCLIB, NLGA, NSLB, RIS, NeLMA, SPIB) and most grade descriptions read like lawyer fine print - allowing a lot of room for interpretation.

CLEAR Cedar Grade
CLEAR CEDAR
Highest Grade Fewest Knots - is the top of the line wood. This is an architect grade. This is the rarest part of the tree- the hardest to get- the best performing and the most expensive option. Your appearance and performance priorities determine your budget with clear grades. Clear and Clear Vertical Grain (CVG) are the Highest appearance grades we have.
But even CLEAR grades rules allow knots. They may be tiny, they may be few but they are allowed in grade rules.
NEAR Clear has very few, very tiny knots and a median price point for the "Knot so fond". Your appearance priorities will determine your budget with clear grades.
There is a lot of Clear in the Near Clear grades- a good trimmer can create the effect of clear and still be under 10% trim and waste (in our opinion).
Near Clear Cedar is the one step down from CLEAR cedar - a D&BTR mill siding grade that customers can use to save serious bucks.
Our STK Tight Knot Grade - "Mill Select" means the mill has selected the wood to meet the "Tight Knot" grade rule in the books.
There is no limit to the number of knots but there is a limit to the size and the type of knot. Other grade names that equate to our definition of "Mill Select" are STK (Select Tight Knot) Select Knotty and #2 and better.
Mill Select is graded to meet the “Tight Knot” description in any given rule book and is the first official “Appearance Grade” tier for projects where codes have to be met.
Our Buffalo Budget Knotty Grade is a "No Prior Selection" tight knot grade. That means that the mill has not officially graded to be "Select Tight Knot" by the rule book as is done with "Mill Select" grades.
Buffalo "Customer Select" means you the customer spend the time selecting out defect from a higher grade saving the mill time and you dollars.
You will get a few loose knots but nothing that would threaten a 10-15% job site trim and waste margin.
Life teaches 1 rule: It costs 10 TIMES MORE to fix something that goes wrong than it would to do the job the exact right way in the first place.

YOU HAVE TO BACK SEAL! IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE JOB RIGHT YOU CANNOT FINISH BETTER THAN MACHINES CAN!!
The biggest and most frequent mistake we see people make is thinking they can just tack cedar siding up and stain the face to save money. This is the Worst Thing you can Possibly do with Wood Siding!
The problem is water. Water gets behind the wood and causes problems. By the time you realize there is a problem the cost to repair it is in the thousands or tens of thousands.
99% of all reported siding failures are installation related. That puts a pretty big onus on preparation. Doing the job exactly the right way is worth its weight in gold when you consider that anything that goes wrong costs multiple thousands of dollars to address.
8 hours a day, 5 days a week we get calls about wood siding and the number 1 reported reason we get called is the wood siding on the house now is failing because it was not sealed on the back.
The average cost for one of our customers to repair cedar siding is well over $5000. We have a $2500 order minimum + they have labor.

Common Sense Wood Siding Seasoning, Storage and Installation Tips for Do It Yourself Homeowner and Builder
It's not rocket science but it has to be done right. Our DIY Customers sometimes do a better job than professionals because they take the time to read the instructions and do the job exactly right. You have to take your time with wood.
There was ZERO unusable lumber caused by mill waste.
There was ZERO damage during shipping.
All pieces were dimensionally perfect.
Your website was explicitly clear on how to install the siding and it went up easily.
The siding is all on and in the process of being painted. We will send before and after pictures.
So here's just a little detail on the project.
This house was a restoration rather than renovation. The original portion of the house was built in early 1830's. It was added on to periodically but at least one addition was completed on Thursday June 13, 1907 because during the restoration, we found a board signed by Wm Sheffield with that date on it.
We were originally only going to work on the inside of the house and ALL material removed from walls and ceilings was restored and returned back into the house.
However, much of the exterior siding was rotten and had to be replaced. We struggled for a little bit with the decision on whether to use wood or some type of composite material (like Hardy board or vinyl) but finally settled on wood as being the most historically accurate. This decision was made, in part, as a result of the information on your website. Although ,the original material most likely would have been poplar (all other wood in the house, including the original logs from the log cabin, was poplar), when painted you can't tell and the cedar will last longer.
I cannot stress how helpful the website and EVERYONE at Buffalo was. Buffalo Lumber is without a doubt, the easiest company to do business with. There was some fear at making such a significant purchase over the internet on "sight unseen" material but the overall quality of our contact with all personnel and the website made it much easier to just "close our eyes" and jump. Boy are we glad we did.
This siding is now the crown jewel on what we hope is a historically accurate restoration with a few concessions to modern living.

I was first drawn to them by their no nonsense website. They seemed to go out of their way to educate and explain in straightforward terms. Their sales rep helped guide us through and even jumped in to find a local framer for us, who turned out to be fantastic. Our project experienced delays, but they worked with us throughout.The product (drumroll please) is beautiful by the way. it wouldn't be fair to ignore the coordination of the shipping department a/k/a Chaos Central. consistent, clear,and timely communications (with a touch of humor) made them invaluable. If we ever build again (which we won't). i would use no other company.
BBB Review 2/04/2020
Steven R. from Ballston Spa, NY (4th February 2020)
Buffalo Lumber was focused on providing me the best possible customer experience from first contact through delivery of the final product with a very knowledgeable and helpful staff - even for us do-it-your-selfers. First contact with the Buffalo Lumber Specialist who answered all of my questions regarding siding choices, availability, time, cost, and delivery options, to Buffalo's Customer Relations Manager with information on wood products, its proper storage, use, grades, and installation - right down to the type of nails to use - and the Buffalo Order Manager, unbelievably, (what company does this these days?) who follows and updates the customer weekly on the lumber milling, painting, and delivery. I was never left in the dark.
The product itself exceeded my expectations. I purchased nearly 2000 feet of cedar siding, primed and painted to my color specification. It arrived packaged exceptionally well with NO damage. Buffalo Lumber's website was packed with information on lumber choices, cost, and installation to read before placing that first call.
Buffalo Lumber provided a quality solution for my home renovation with superior customer service.
