A shingle or shake panel is composed of shingles progressively increasing in width from one end of the panel, the narrowest shingle or shake being at least substantially three times the offset between adjacent shingle panels in adjacent courses. Apparatus for making such shingle or shake panels trims the individual shingles or shakes to width, accumulates them in a storage bin or wheel and dispenses the shingle or shakes from such storage bin or wheel to a fabricating table where the shingles or shakes are integrated by a strip secured to their outer face at a location such that the edge of the strip farther from the butts of the shingles or shakes is spaced from the butts of the shingles or shakes a distance equal to the weather exposure of the butt portions of the shingles or shakes.
