I had planned to side the upper windows with Gavalume, but due to the success of the staining of my exterior beams and planks, I decided to do cedar siding at front and back doors. Everyone says I should do more, but I’m happy with the balance.

A little tricky doing the Gavalume here. Too many indents. But I think I figured it out well. This door is quite exposed to the elements to let in the Summer sun in the evening.

Turned out better than I expected. Nice match between cedar, roof, and beams. The Gavalume may look out of place, but I think it makes the cedar look better!
