Oak shakes has anyone heard of or installed them/

Yes. Got them from Virginia. (not shakes...these were wood shingles)

Hard to cut with a knife.

Butt them tight, they shrink.

BTW, I would post here more often but the color and design are hard on my eyes.

There is a Shingle Oak that was used by the early settlers for shingles. They are a unique look. The only site I could find for Oak shingles seems to be in England.

I'm guessing this is not a standard roofing product, I will be meeting with the person on Monday and try to talk them into something different like Decra steel Shake profile.>>>

If you sand them smooth and apply a light stain, they sure are purdy.>>>

Oak is easier to spell than cedar

Remember..... you DID say ANY comments :laugh:>>>

They are made from oak trees!>>>
