   Let Blue put it up<G>

   Seriously, Can't you butt the ripped edge of the narrow board to the wider unripped board?

   "what's in a name?" d'oh!

   Hehehe. I'm fairly certain that Gabe has put me on ignore. Or perhaps maybe he's now agreeing with 99.99% of the things I say.

   If anyone needs some bad blades to make ugly rips, I've got one on my saw right now that I'll peddle. Since it's so experienced, I'll have to charge a premium.

   rip it with a hand saw

   its not that hard to do with a sharp saw, especially in cedar.

   or miter and glue the corner boards, so there's no square edge to deal with.

   That would definitely give the texture out that he wants, but an exterior mitre is pretty well gauranteed to pull apart over time

   If you need very much material, try ordering it the way you want it--resawn one face and one edge. Or, find a woodworking shop that has a band saw and take them some 1x8 to rip in half.

   sawzall works well .wood or metal blade.run it back and forth on the edge that needs the re-sawn look. sawzall is 90degrees to material.blade is 45 degrees or steeper.check it out.

   Use a dedicated rip blade on the TS when you rip the board. If you can find a plain steel one instead of a carbide-toothed one you will get  the effect you are looking for.

   If it's still too smooth for your taste, increase the set of every fourth right-set tooth on the blade so it's cutting a wider kerf on the right (fence side). That'll leave more score marks.

   even better - nick and dull some teeth so they rip and shred the wood fibres, pulling them out! but a wire wheeled brush on adrill or grinder would do the same too. Oui?

   I was gonna say the same thing, get an old steel tooth blade and bend a couple of the teeth... but it's not politically correct to recommend damaging and then using a tool, so I like the way you put it... increase the set.
