Where to buy wood siding?

Anyone recognize the siding below and know where to buy some? The ice storm bounced a broken limb off a corner of the house and broke the bottom edge off two pieces of siding in the process. I only need like 4 linear ft, but haven't had any luck locating the wood. I've gotten one bid to hire it out so far, which re-energized my desire to find the siding myself.

I've found plenty of dutch lap, but nothing in this size. The smallest I've found is 1 x 6 and the boards on the house are 3/4 by 7 (plus the boards on the house have the double lap). The side profile matches the wwpa 105 siding pattern.

I'd start with East Side Lumber and then try Austin Fine lumber. East Side may stock it or have it available and AFL would be able to mill it for you to match. $/LF will be high, but probably cheaper than a contractor. May also look on FB and CL to see if you can find any remnants.

Sorry, all of the above was for Austin area. No clue if you're elsewhere except for checking the marketplaces.

Important details,..I'm in Round Rock so your suggestions are perfect.

The custom thought did occur and I'm sure even that would be way cheaper than a contractor. I talked to a couple others and they wanted to replace the whole side.

Personally, I would use polyurethane glue and glue that back together, sand and paint.

If another limb falls on it and breaks the siding, it won't be at that repair joint.

Now we're talking. I'll give that a shot this weekend and see how it turns out.

I talked ot East Side lumber this morning and they think they actually already have a jig for this pattern. I can just come by with a scrap piece to confirm. If the glue/sand/paint route doesn't work I'll cut a small piece off and go this route.

That's #105 siding. Go to a smaller lumberyard and you should be able to find some. If they don't have some on the shelf they shouldn't have a problem ordering it for you. Woodson Lumber in Lexington will have it if you want to drive that far.
