Build Green with Naturally Renewable Wood Sidings Wood is the Natural Choice when it comes to beautiful and effective cladding for your home or structure. Wood surpasses steel and concrete in the following categories: * Energy use * Environment impact * Resource use * Green Building * Pollution Energy Use - Wood products require much less energy to produce than concrete or steel. An independent comparison of the energy needed to obtain, manufacture, transport and install building materials for identical wood frame, steel frame and concrete houses proves wood's environmental superiority over alternative materials. The result is more fossil fuels saved with less air and water pollution. Resource Use - As the world's only renewable building material, wood can not only be recycled, but regenerated as well. Pollution - Wood product manufacturing produces far fewer greenhouse gases. Environmental Impact - Wood has the lowest impact on air and water quality. This is especially true when compared to the manufacture of recycled steel. Forest regeneration also creates more trees which benefit the environment while they grow, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Green Building - As the interest in "Green Building" grows, building rating systems such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) have emerged as one way to rate the environmental impact of construction. These rating systems are founded on the four guiding principles of green building:
1. 2. 3. 4.
Reducing energy use Reducing resource use Minimizing pollution Reducing environmental impact

It looks custom made... because it is. Using only the tools of a frontiersman and techniques that have been passed down through generations, we have created the TRAPPER’S LODGE Hand Crafted Rustic Hewn line of timber siding & trim. We start with mighty White Pine, harvested from the forests of the Lake Superior region. Sourced locally, we then utilize local craftsmen and a variety of draw knives to create a one-of-a kind textured finish. Each board bears the unique scars from the knives that when finished create dark contrasting crevasses . The TRAPPER’S LODGE siding installs easily over conventional framing and is available in sizes 2x8 - 2x12. Coordinating window & door trim also features the same rustic sculpturing and are available in a large range of sizes and outside corner options. To further enhance and protect the siding and trim, we offer the VX Pro Factory Prefinishing Service - full protection for your natural wood exterior, available in a variety of attractive shades.

Cozy Cottage
The TRAPPER’S LODGE line is custom made by hand using a series of draw knives. We have created two descriptions to identify the intensity of the marks and gouges that are applied to the wood. Cozy Cottage utilizes more of a “scraping” technique that limits the depth and the volume of the marks, it appears to have more knife chatter and an eased knife edges. The Original Trapper’s Lodge bites harder into the wood leaving deeper gouges and tears, a more “pioneer” look, it also includes an eased knife edge. Whether you go light with Cozy Cottage or heavy with the Original Trapper’s Lodge, you are assured to have a “One-of-a-Kind” look for your home. Our Minnesota craftsmen make a variety of sidings, trims and corners - let us make something special just for you!

Finish Strong The Advantages of Lake States Lumber F actory Prefinishing Service To protect your natural wood sidings from the harmful effects of moisture and the sun, you need a finish that works with the natural characteristics of the wood. The VX Pro Brand of Environmentally Compliant Waterborne Coatings are engineered to both compliment and protect the wood by blocking UV rays and preventing moisture from accessing the wood.
When
properly applied in our factory setting, the VX Pro finish will offer years of maintenance free performance and provide a finish that stays “looking new”.
The VX Pro Finish is VOC-Free
for the ultimate in environmental compliance and is offered in a semi transparent finish to allow the beauty of the natural

characteristics of the wood to shine through. Real protection on real wood. It doesn’t get any better!
Environmentally Compliant Waterbourne Coatings
We strive to make the colors appear as accurate as possible, be aware that finish color variations can occur due to the natural hues and grain patterns of the wood substrate that it is applied to. Also the amount of sunlight on the application when photographed and variation through the design and printing of this publication can cause color variation. Use the images as a guide, actual color samples are available upon request through your local building material supplier.

I have used VX Pro on more than one thousand projects with outstanding results. Smooth log siding jobs coated with VX Pro still look new after seven years of exposure to the elements. The finish is very flexible and that helps it hold up to expansion and contraction without cracking and peeling from the stress.
We continue to commission university laboratory testing of the VX Pro Line of Finishes. Through independent research, VX Pro continues to outperform the competition and to provide superior protection and color retention.
Tim Ryan Ryan Paint Contracting
3 Coat System - The base coat seals the wood to protect it from harmful UV rays and damage from moisture. The base coat not only promotes dimensional stability, it also provides an excellent surface for top coat applications. We then apply two layers of the top coat to fortify the UV resistance and to obtain the final desired color. Pseudo- Elastic Properties - Our layers of protection expand and contract naturally with the wood to prevent any cracking, peeling and flaking of the finish. No chalking or fading - Unlike other finishes, our product protects from UV damage preventing the onset of a degraded finish. Environmentally Complimentary & Safe - The unique waterborne nature of the VX Pro System permits easy clean up with water while the finish is still wet. Our ZERO HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutants) CONTENT makes the VX Pro System the choice for safety and the environment and gives you the flexibility to distribute and store the product without hazardous material restrictions. Proven Performance - VX Pro has undergone both extensive laboratory and field application testing. Independent Lab Testing recognizes the VX Pro Factory Finish System as having the BEST WEATHERING CHARACTERISTICS of any finish in its class!
Clean Clear Finishes Don’t Come Easy! It is more than what is being applied to the wood. Lake States Lumber controls the process from start to finish. We take care to insure the wood is at proper temperature and moisture content before the process begins. Then our first step is to sand the paneling, removing mill glaze and any imperfections. We then apply three coats of our ultra clear UV finish, carefully sanding between each coat. The finish is applied to both the front and back of the paneling to limit the exposure to moisture and minimize the expansion and contraction of the wood. The paneling is visually inspected three times through the process to insure quality throughout the process. Lake States Lumber also offers our Advantage Plus Line of Pre-Stained Panelings. A great selection of colors to choose from along with custom capabilities.

Texture affects the stain color. Stain collects in the grooves and markings to create dark accents. Each of the products above feature the VX Pro Factory Finish: Moosewood Throughout the magazine, we strive to make the colors appear as accurate as possible. It is important to note that finish color variations can occur not only due to the natural hues and grain patterns of the wood substrate that it is applied to, but also due to the machining of the wood. Lake States Lumber offers a variety of texture options that can be applied to sidings, trim, timbers and panelings. When finishing, stain collects in the grooves and markings creating dark accents, which helps to highlight the

RE
The development of a New Lodge & Event Center and Cabin Improvements have turned this Resort into a Family Recreation Destination
T
he dream of resort ownership became a reality in 2004 when Chuck & Marilyn Appeldoorn bought this 16 acre resort on the renowned Lake Mille Lacs. In 2011 they took a leap of faith and underwent a major renovation adding a lodge, event center and modernized all their cabins.
The Appeldoorn Family acquired the resort in 2004.
“We’ve always known that we wanted a modern yet classic cabin feel. An ‘Up North’ getaway with all the luxuries and conveniences of home. We knew we needed something that was affordable, durable, and looked great,” said Marilyn. Because of the number of buildings they have, they knew that they needed something that wouldn’t fade quickly and could stand the test of time.
34
The owners explored a couple of different options including using the same siding that was previously used on all of the cabins, but they instead decided to go with the Factory Prefinished Hatchet Hewn SCANLOG siding that they had chose for their family cabin. They loved the look, and the fact that it was going to be low maintenance. “The dark color really adds a level of elegance to the buildings while keeping that cabin feel. We started putting the siding up on all of our smaller cabins first and immediately knew we had made the right decision. Once it went up on the new Lodge and Event Center everything looked fabulous! We have been very pleased with our decision and think everything looks great!”
On the shores of Lake Mille Lacs in the heart of Minnesota, the lodge, event center & cabins all feature 2x10 Hatchet Hewn SCANLOG Siding, Coordinating Hatchet Hewn Window & Door Trim and Custom Outside Corners. Protected from the elements by the VX PRO Factory Finish: Adirondack Ridge

Located on the edge of the US and Canadian border on the shores of Rainy Lake is Ogichi Daa Kwe Camp for young women. The camp was established in 2004 in conjunction with Camp Kooch-I-Ching Boys Camp located on Deer Island. The vision was to develop a nationally recognized wilderness adventure camp for young women where the characteristics of teamwork, confidence, perseverance, integrity, leadership and respect are cultivated as the cornerstones of a strong, spirited adulthood. That vision was realized in 2004 with its first camp season. Camp Ogichi Daa Kwe has grown to include a variety of camp and wilderness trip options for a range of ages.
Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood was used on the bunkhouses, main hall and shower house. Created from locally grown pine , beautifully transformed to provide a low maintenance, durable exterior.
In 2009 began the development of the mainland camp. In conjunction with the vision of the camp, the emphasis on building green and the need for low maintenance were paramount. The EVOLUTIONS Thermally Modified Wood Siding was an ideal fit, locally grown, modified and manufactured to provide a beautiful and durable solution to serve the camp for many generations of campers. Learn more about the Ogichi Daa Kwe Program at www.ogichi.org
36
The main hall is clad entirely with Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood: 11/16 x 8 Plain Bevel Siding, 1 x 6 WP4 Paneling on the gable end, and boards used for soffits, fascia & trim.
Thermally Modified Wood
evolutions Sustainable Local Durable Beautiful
Naturally modified wood with supernatural performance. The Science behind the Product: Thermal Modification changes the chemical structure of the wood. The process changes both the physical and biological properties of wood, hindering its ability to reabsorb moisture. Additionally, through the transformation process, the sugars found in wood are converted into a natural substance that cannot be digested by insects, and that does not contribute to fungus or mold growth. The results of the modification give EVOLUTIONS Thermally Modified Wood significant advantages against the elements:
Grown, manufactured and consumed locally... to be enjoyed for generations. The paneling in the main hall is created from pine that had fallen from the Independence Day wind storm that devastated the Boundary Water Canoe Area of Minnesota in 1999. The storm destroyed over one million acres.
• Outstanding Dimension Stability - Greatly reducing woods natural tendency to warp, cup and shrink • Durability - Excellent performance against the elements • Natural resistance to rot and decay • Exceptional performance with paints / stains / glues due to the low moisture content - Can be painted / stained immediately • Attractive golden brown color The enhanced durability and performance make EVOLUTIONS an excellent choice for the eco-conscience consumer, but the advantages don’t stop there... • It is rapidly renewable. • It is locally and abundantly available in Minnesota and Wisconsin. There are no other naturally rotresistant woods grown locally. • It is a natural product. • Supports local economy.
Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood shown in these pictures was installed in 2011. No finish has been applied. The color of the wood has experienced very little color change in 18 months . Lake States Lumber, Inc. | www.lakestateslumber.com
EVOLUTIONS Thermally Modified Wood has been successfully used throughout Europe for years.
