Where can I find siding that will match my 1942 cedar lap siding?

Mike K asked:


I walled off a window in my kitchen yesterday and need to match the siding on my house. The existing siding is 10″x3/4″ cedar lap siding. The common widths currently available are 12″ and 8″. The existing siding is in good shape and I don’t want to reside the whole house. Any ideas?

We have just removed a pair of barberry plants from our front bed and are looking to replace them. Our house is cedar sided and is stained an orange-red color. You should also know that we live in Oregon.
