Bill Kibbel 77 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 There were about 10 shakes like this on this roof. What makes them do this? Too much exposure, nailed too high, flat grain and/or those shakes had considerably more sapwood than the other shakes of mostly heartwood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The top quality shake wood is scarce, so they are picking up wood that in the past would have gone for sawn shingle or siding. That is a pretty extreme warp tho. Some of the other curled shakes may have been split from the same block, probably a butt end. Good shake wood comes from old growth cedar. It is a thing of the past now, all gone.

kurt 2 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 If it stays that way more than 4 hours, call a roofer......(apologies to kibbel for stealing his line). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Raymond 27 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't think the curls are that big of a problem. They'll be knocked off when the rest of the cover is mowed. That cover is whooped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denray 2 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Fortunately someone had to tell be about that blue pill thing. At one of my physicals I asked the doc "How do you get ED"? He started explaining all the ways to cure it. I said, "No, you misunderstood, my wife wants me to get it".[:-party] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
