This private residence was coined The McIntosh Residence due to the owner’s love and appreciation of music, a nod to the vintage McIntosh amplifier they own. The home’s exterior features over 1,500 square feet of reSAWN TIMBER co. products, including GRAPHITE Abodo Vulcan Cladding as well as NERO soffits. The beautiful detail work is seen throughout, especially in the install technique of the soffits to extend the angles of the house. Sitting on 3.5 acres and close to Wissahickon Creek, this residence is a nature-filled oasis in a Philadelphia suburb. Lower Gwynedd is one of the oldest townships in Montgomery County, founded in 1698. Today, it is a beautiful and flourishing community rooted in tradition and culture.

GRAPHITE and NERO by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Abodo Vulcan Cladding finished with Abodo Protector Oil which uses the latest in waterborne oil technology combining refined plant oils, UV protection, advanced water barrier composition, and an enhanced fungicidal package for superior exterior performance.

Vulcan thermally modified wood cladding is created from New Zealand plantation timber and engineered with a patented vertical grain orientation for superior weathering characteristics. reSAWN TIMBER co’s Abodo Fine Sawn Face Vulcan Cladding provides a unique, textured surface with beautiful grain depth. This fine sawn texture opens the wood grain to allow for optimal coating performance. The thermal modification process and vertical grain structure means Vulcan cladding has superior stability and reduced resin content.
