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)
Williamsburg, VA
Google "sawmill Williamsburg, VA"
There are several in the area that you can call and get prices.

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

No need for assuming the actual dimensions - just read the product specifications, for crying out loud .. John T.
