Clear Vertical Grain Sugi Wood Siding From Nakamoto Forestry

Nakamoto Forestry’s Clear Vertical Grain Sugi siding provides a sustainable alternative to traditional old-growth vertical grain cedar. Grown through decades of refined forestry practices in Japan, Sugi trees are planted at high densities and cultivated over a 70- to 80-year cycle to encourage tight growth rings and consistent structure. The wood is then quartersawn and air-dried for a full year, resulting in boards with exceptional stability and a clean appearance with no visible knots, according to the company.
