Western Red Cedar boards may be specified in one of three surface finishes: rough; surfaced one side, two edges (S1S2E); or surfaced four sides (S4S).

rough boards

Rough Boards
The rough sawn texture from either circular or band saws is present on all four sides.


2 sided boards

Surfaced One Side, Two Edges (S1S2E)
This products allows either the rough sawn or surfaced face to be exposed. The surfacing process provides uniform width and thickness tolerances. This versatile product is the most popular choice for trim boards.


4 sided boards

Surfaced Four Sides (S4S or PAR, D4S)
The smooth surface on all four sides presents a uniformly sized product with a quality appearance. This surface finish is most commonly found on Clear grades.
