TYPES OF WOOD
One of the options you have in designing your Original Log Cabin Home is selecting from a variety of wood types. Your wood selection will help define your home and match the design you've selected, your geographical location, and your budget.
Western Red Cedar or Northern White Cedar. No matter which wood you select, our expert design, engineering, milling, and manufacturing processes will provide you with the finest log home available.
Western Red Cedar is light, rot resistant, and strong. It's free of pitch and resin and has a high percentage of heartwood, plus natural "grown-in" preservatives famous for making the wood resistant to insects and decay.
Northern White Cedar is known for its excellent insulating quality, and receives the most decay-resistant rating as assigned by the United States Forest Products Laboratory. It performs well in even the harshest climate and requires little or no maintenance.
