I'm repairing a colonial well house made of cedar boards and siding. The outside corners are 1" x 5.5" (actual) boards. I can't find any. Any idea where I should be looking?
Thanks!

You'll need a lumber mill. Where are you located?

Is 5/4 cedar not close enough ? It's quite common for decks & such. John T.

You need to finf 5/4" stock -or look for a local saw mill who can rough cut 1" for you (preferably with a planer blade)

As has been suggested, you might have luck looking for a sawmill.
You may have to get "over size" boards and cut / plane them to size.
Or, worst case, you use what is available and paint to match.

On the assumption that 5/4" is nominal size and the milled size is 1" then you may find what you can use at Home Depot
5/4 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. Premium Kiln-Dried Cedar Lumber
