I am trying to locate 11 1/2″ wide bevelled redwood siding to match the original on a 40+ year old home. I have not had any success in this area (Minneapolis), and was wondering if anyone can point me toward a supplier.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have run out of places to try to find your 11 1/2" you might want to keep checking houses that are being torn down in your area. A few years back I was looking for the same and came up empty. I did find some narrower widths and was told I would have to accept what they gave me which included 4 foot shorts.
A house being torn down in my area in NE Ohio had 11 1/2 beneath its yellow vinyl siding. Up to 16 foot lengths off a timberframe. Old growth lumber with the Washington state mill stamp still inked on the back. If you could find it new cut now I really would like to know what the price per foot would be.
Hope you find what you need.
