To create homes of unmatched strength and integrity, we select only the finest wood species for our homes, then mill them in our own plant from timber taken directly from the heart of the tree, yielding logs that are straight and strong.

• Two types of logs to choose from:
   
• Eastern White Pine is a straight-grained species that's less susceptible to twisting, shrinking or pitch seepage than many other wood species. It's easy to work with and takes finishes beautifully, drying in a stable, predictable fashion.
   
• Western Red Cedar is also available if you're looking for a dark, rich, aromatic wood with the distinctive cedar look.
   
• Either species is available in several log profiles.
   
• Highest grade logs: Highly trained industry-certified professionals grade all of our logs for appearance, structural quality and function using the Log Home Council's tough grading standards. Only logs that meet these standards, the strictest in the industry, will be used in a Northeastern Log Home.
   
• Air-dried for stability: Rough-sawn timbers are delivered to our factory. Using log-drying methods we have been perfecting since 1972, the timbers air dry for six months to a full year before being milled into various log profiles.
   
• Optional kiln drying: Kiln drying is also available in our state-of-the-art, high-temperature steam kilns.
   
• Log-to-log consistency: We oversee each step of the manufacturing process - drying, milling, grading and manufacturing - to ensure every log is consistent in appearance and quality. And strict quality controls, built into every step of the process, ensure trouble-free construction.
   
• Spruce for added strength: Spruce is used for timber trusses, purlins and ceiling beams, offering the strength to handle the long spans that are the hallmark of a log home design. To ensure that logs are consistently solid and complement your pine or cedar walls, all spruce timbers are carefully graded for appearance and structural quality.
