Headwaters Collection

2×8 Tight Knot Cedar Scan Log Siding-Sikkens L&S 005 Natural Oak

My grandfather spoke with his eyes and calculated actions. When he did speak, he commanded everyone’s attention. Strong willed, hard working and steadfast values. But when he brought out the fiddle, his face would light up every corner of a dimly lit room. The Greater Midwest, the headwaters of our nation’s greatest rivers, was built upon this undeniable determination to succeed in spite of any challenge. This was the melting pot of many nationalities, Scandinavian, Finnish, German, Italian, Polish and Norwegian. More concerned with function over flair, enduring ideals over short term flash in the pan trends, beauty in simplicity; characteristics embedded in the Headwaters Collection. Our Headwaters Collection offers many options to choose from. Scan log siding, our most popular siding reflects a Scandinavian method of building using flat sawn timbers instead of typical round log siding. Weatheredge Log siding, with its windswept wirebrushed face and eased edges. Timeworn Log siding exhibits a rough hewn flat face and edges, reminiscent of an old cabin perhaps in the back forty of a past memory. In addition, this collection offers 7 options of smooth half log siding. Within our Headwaters Collection you are sure to find one that creates the image you’ve always dreamed of. Call one of our friendly sales consultants today to bring your log siding home another step closer to reality.
