We purchase our logs directly from the mills, therefore you
have a variety of logs to choose from, such as Pines, Spruces, Firs
and Cedars milled in different sizes and shapes.
It is our opinion that in Oklahoma’s harsh weather conditions
the species of log is not the biggest factor in the longevity of
your log home. We have built log homes in Oklahoma for over 25 years
with different species and styles of logs and we have not seen one
log out perform another. The design and maintenance of the home
plays a much bigger factor to the life of your logs.
Our most popular log is the 6”x 8” D-shape Spruce log.
There are a several reasons for its popularity. First of all, it
is milled from dead standing trees so you have a reasonably stable
log with a minimum of shrinkage. Secondly, it’s shape gives
your interior walls a flat surface which makes hanging items easier
and it does not collect as much dust as the round logs. It also
is very light in color which enables it to accept a wide variety
of stains or you can leave it clear for the lightest finish. Lastly,
it is abundant and fairly easy to harvest making it a relatively
inexpensive log.
