Greetings, first time poster...
I have a 1955 Ranch with the original redwood shakes, in pretty good overall condition except for the high traffic outside corner areas. This house is and will continue to be used as a rental.
I do not have a picture at this time of the damage to the outside corners in a high traffic area near the rear entry of the house, but I do have picture of what I am looking for (less than 15 posts prevents me from inserting here...).

Replace the " DOT " with " . ", it should get you there
If you look closely you'll see that the corner is capped by a metal protector...these protect the shake weave on the corner. The base area protects approx 1.5" on each side, then tapers up into the overlap of the upper shake. Quite a simple product.
Are these still available for purchase, anywhere? I looked at the house next door to mine, they used these on all 4 corners of the house, it has kept the house in good repair. I'll probably want to purchase 3 - 4 dozen to do my own.
I've been searching with Google for the better part of a couple of hours...the best I could find was the picture above, and that was by sheer luck, looking at a post for flashing advice.
Any and all help appreciated.
Many thanks.
