Quality Lumber & MillingSince 1991

Salvaged Old Growth Redwood Shingles and Shakes are available at Jackel Enterprises. Redwood shingles and shakes are a historical and long lasting siding and roofing material. Redwood is naturally fire retardant, rot and insect resis-tant so there is no need to treat the material with chemicals.

Our Salvaged Old Growth Redwood shakes and shingles are appropriate for historical restoration of old homes and remodels. They are appropri-ate for lasting functional, architectural elements for new homes of any style; Victorian, Traditional, Rustic, Arts & Crafts to Contemporary.

Redwood shingles are sawn wood tiles with smooth back and front sides used for roofing and siding. Fifteen different stock patterns and custom sizes available. Three standard shingle sizes in-clude - the Five X at 16″ (406mm); the Perfection at 18″ (457mm); and the Royal shingle at 24″ (610mm).

#1 Blue Label Redwood Shingles - This is a premium grade of shingle for roof and sidewalls. These shingles are 100% heartwood, 100% clear and 100% edge grain. They are typically used on the outer surface.

#2 Red Label Redwood Shingles - A quality grade for many applications. Not less than 10″ clear area on 16″ shingles, 11″ clear on 18″ shingles and 16″ clear on 24″ shingles. Flat grain and limited sap-wood permitted for this grade, typically used for the underlying layer when double-coursing (applying two layers).

Redwood shakes are traditionally hand split on one or both sides depending on shake style. We of-fer hand split and sawn shakes for roof and siding applications. Hand split shakes have an irregular rustic texture that is used for rustic and Crafts-man style structures. Shakes are A rated with cap sheeting and B rated without.

Hand Split Barn Shakes - Straight fine grain Redwood is used for our traditional hand split barn shakes. Shakes are hand split on both sides with the natural grain of the Redwood. Available lengths: 18″, 24″ and 36″.

Hollywood (or Imperial) Shakes - This 24″ shake is hand split on the face and resawn on the backside. Hollywood is cut from clear heartwood. Three thicknesses are available: Medium 1/2″ butt; Heavy 3/4″- 1″ butt; and Jumbo 1 ½″ - 2″ butt.

Tapersawn Shakes - These are a hybrid of a shake and shingle, same taper shape as a shingle but made thicker like a shake. They are sawn on both sides for a tailored look with a thicker butt for a sharp shadow line. Made from clear heartwood; available in 18″ and 24″ lengths.

Redwood Posts and Grape Stakes - Redwood posts are hand split from salvaged Old Growth Redwood, typical sizes are 4″ x 5″ and 5″ x 5″. Grape stakes are made 2″ x 2″ x 6″, special order lengths are available.

The San Francisco Transbay Terminal, built in the 1930’s for car and train connection to the East Bay, was closed August 2010. Pilings were pounded into the ground 40 feet deep by a steam powered pile driver to create the foundation for the Transbay Terminal. Excavation ofthe four city block area began in 2011. Over 2000 Douglas Fir pilings were excavated fromthe site. Jackel Enterprises procured a number of the pilings and had them FSC Certified Recycled 100%.

Much of the material has blue-grey and green-grey coloration on the outer layers due to absorption of the minerals in the moist soil of bay mud, marine sand, colma sand and old bay clay. The soil layers have been dated from the 1800’s back to the last ice age.

We are offering milled material in 4/4 and 8/4 thicknesses x random width x lengths to 17’Mixed Grain, Small Tight Knots.While supplies last we can custom mill material.
