        "text": "Shiplap is a type of wooden board characterized by a rabbet (groove) cut into two opposite edges. These grooves allow the boards to overlap snugly, creating a distinctive, interlocking pattern with a small reveal between each board. Historically used for exterior siding on ships and sheds due to its weather-tight seal, shiplap is now popular for interior walls, ceilings, and accent features in various design styles, from rustic farmhouse to modern contemporary.
