A novel construction siding member as well as a technique of manufacturing same is disclosed, the construction siding member effecting a decorative rustic appearance. In the preferred inventive embodiment, the construction siding member is adapted for attachment to an underlying wall and comprises a generally planar elongated board having elongated depending strips secured to the rear face thereof, such strips having their edges cut at an acute angle to facilitate nailing of the elongated board to the underlying wall with the nails being hidden when viewing the front face of the board. The board itself is distressed to provide a rustic appearance. An entire wall can be formed from such siding members by providing a plurality of same in spaced-apart parallel relationship to one another with the space between each siding member being filled with mortar. The technique for distressing each siding member to effect the rustic appearance includes the steps of chopping the edges of the board with an ax-like tool, whereafter the face of the board is scored to loosen chips therefrom, such chips are removed by scraping the board face, and, finally, the board is stained with a pressurized spray.
