I have to match some old beadboard for wainscoating. It measures about 3 1/2 finished edge to edge with 3 beads on groove edge. That is the catch. I can’t find a supplier and need suggestions for online or Boston area. I need about 50sf.

Try and find a local milling company that makes trim. They will have to capability to match your bead board. The problem is that you don't need much so it will be expensive.
The other thing you can try is find the oldest, smallest family run lumber yard in your area. Chances are they will have it or be able to tell you if it is even made any more.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I could make that for you. Would need to get that triple bead knife ground. My shop is in Somerville.
reinvent, I'm in Boston and once in a while I'm looking for odd stuff like this. Where in Somerville are you? What's your shoppes name? Add a tag or fill out your profile.
I'm a member of the Historical Commission in my town and we recently had some beadboard (of a more common style but still different from modern stock) milled by

His pricing is reasonable and his work is excellent. We supplied the material but he will work with your wood or his. He can have custom knives ground for a couple hundred bucks if that's required.
