Exterior Siding & Interior Paneling

Hewn’s Cypress is a versatile North American species selected for its exceptional workability, natural density, and dimensional stability. These physical properties make it a reliable, high-performance substrate for both interior paneling and exterior siding applications. 

Available in both Clear Mixed Grain (CMG) and Clear Vertical Grain (CVG), our Cypress is expertly chosen to provide a beautiful surface that serves as a consistent canvas for our carefully crafted finishes.

"The Wood Eternal"

Cypress has been a cornerstone of American architecture for centuries, earning the nickname “The Wood Eternal” due to its incredible longevity. From the traditional French Creole cottages of the Mississippi Valley to the expansive coastal estates of the Southeast, it was the primary choice for early builders who required a material that could withstand extreme humidity and coastal exposure without failing. This legacy continues today, as Cypress remains a staple in architectural design for its ability to bridge the gap between historic durability and modern aesthetics.

Clear Mixed Grain

Clear Mixed Grain (CMG) Cypress features a blend of flat and vertical grain patterns, offering a natural and varied appearance across the installation. This grade is sorted to ensure it is free of most prominent knots, providing a clear surface that highlights the wood’s organic grain structure. When combined with our factory finishes, CMG creates a sophisticated, textured look suitable for large-scale interior wall and ceiling applications where a more dynamic visual is desired.

  • Contains both vertical grain and wider grain patterns
  • Some boards will contain v-shaped cathedraling
  • May occasionally contain very small knots
