Hi,
I’m looking for some help in laying out a Sunburst Pattern in a gable. I’m using fiber cement siding with a 5 in. exposure. Any help with the concept from books, links or advice would be appreciated. It is 28 ft. wide with a 5-12 roof. I can make the center half circle up to 4 ft. wide.

Thanks Mike,
That is what I want to do only I want it to start much lower at the bottom of the gable. What I don't know is how to calculate and lay it out. Trial and error wouldn't be fun. Do I need to have the five inch board exposure at the end of each board or at some imaginary circle the length of the longest board. (They are all different lengths depending on where the hit the roof) How do I calculate the taper rip cuts so the last two boards end up being vertical.
Thanks
