Help Your Customers Bring Added “WOW” to their projects

One offering many of our customers are not familiar with is our line of Circle Sawn products. Designed to mimic the circle-sawn look of beams and paneling made a hundred or more years ago, circle-sawn can make v-joint or nickel-gap paneling, interior doors, and even kitchen cabinets, and give them a unique look that is appealing to many customers. If you have a customer who is chasing a western or cowboy motif, this product is one that will set your offerings heads above standard.

We developed our circle-sawn line in collaboration with a manufacturing partner located next to our Chehalis mill. It took several years to develop a look that was not evenly repetitive to have that old sawmill look.

We have 4/4 random circle sawn, ready to ship. Circle sawn can be added to width sorts or thicker stock with a few weeks notice. At last week’s NHLA meeting in San Antonio, we showcased both nickel-gap and V-joint samples in our booth, and buyers showed a ton of interest. We will also have samples at the upcoming National Building Material Dealers Association (NBMDA), coming up Nov-4 through 6 in Chicago. There will be some aged samples as well that illustrate a few possibilities for our Circle Sawn products.

The possibilities are endless for circle sawn. It will bring interest and depth to vaulted ceilings. Bars and islands can carry a distinctive look than plain base cabinets. Nickel-gap insert panels in two panel interior doors where the stiles and rails are circle sawn would look stunning.

This is where partnerships with Cascade can shine. Get these samples in front of architects, designers and home builders looking for a unique look to set their effort apart from their competitors. We have plenty of both V-joint and nickel-gap made for sampling, just call your Cascade rep and we will get them promptly shipped to you.
