https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiplap  You might know it as 'novelty siding' - that's what Evergreen calls their sheets you can use to model this.

Like I said Karl , I watch a program called Fixerupper currently on Dutch TV , it's about the Gaines family , they fix up homes in Waco Texas  and they love their shiplap.

I suppose I love the program because if I had the chance fixing up homes like they do would be my dream job.

Shiplap!!
It has become the big deal here in Jacksonville & all of the USA thanks to Fixer Upper  Most of the new houses being built to a farmhouse style all have a spash of Shiplap (1" x 6" or 1" x 8" pine or cedar) painted white or left natural.  Just finished a bookcase beside our fireplace & wraped it in 1 x 8 cedar unpainted shiplap. 
Try it sometime you might like it

It's become a running joke in our house. "SHIPLAP!"

Hi guys:

OK so shiplap is obviously a type of clapboard siding am I rights. Just never heard it before. Thanks for the info.

Hi Guys:

Was thinking about the shiplap thing. Probably came from the wood siding that was applied to 16th & 17th century ships.

Hi Jan:

No problem Don't worry about it.

Started working on the lumber shed. Have the 2 end walls built. the one doesn't have much weathering as it will be 90 % covered by a shed. Next is the rear wall.

Here's A few photos.
