exterior wood panels

marmkid

Has anyone ever used wood panels on the exterior of a building? For some reason (probably something stupid i am doing) I am having trouble finding a company that offers wood panels or boards for the facade of a building. I suppose they need to be larger than normal, maybe 4'x8' tall.
Anyone think of somewhere they found something similar off the top of their head?

Steven Ward might have some deluxe wood paneling to sell....from his old bathroom. I'm sure it is on the market at the going rate of $15.00 a running foot.

b_dub is talking about RampX, although if you're planning to use it for an architectural application, the supplier will sell you RampX (but refer to it as Richlite) and charge you 3x the price.
