Jim brought over some really nice cedar, nothing on West coast standards but big for around here. After squaring the blocks we were getting 10 inch wide shingles.

And the slab cuts that need the edges trimmed

Didn't get any close ups of the shingles. They tapper from 1/16 thick to 1/4 on the exposed end. 16 inches log but when your laying them you only expose 5 inches so they go on 3 layers thick.
If this works here's a video of making a cut.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
