Section 01

Wall Logs

Wall log profiles build walls, gables and dormers. Three styles, each in a range of sizes, shown in the order round, D-log, timber: round and timber buyers want opposite things, and the D-log sits between them.

Round logs

Hand peeled

Shop drawing of the 10 inch round log in tongue and groove section: a hand peeled round log machined with a tongue along the top and a matching groove beneath, 9 and three eighths inches tall over a 9 inch stack height and 10 inches across. — 10″ round log, tongue and groove9″ stack

Round logs come two ways: Swedish Cope logs, which have a more traditional look, and Tongue & Groove (T&G) logs, recognizable by their more mechanical, precise appearance.

Sizes

Swedish cope or tongue and groove.

D-logs

Hand peeled outside, hand hewn inside

Shop drawing of the 7 by 10 jumbo D-log in section: a rounded hand peeled outer face, a flat hewn inner face, a tongue on top and a groove beneath, dimensioned 9 and three eighths inches tall by 6 and a half wide with a 9 inch stack height. — 7×10 jumbo D-log9″ stack

“D” logs are produced with the exterior rounded and the interior flat. These are Tongue & Groove type logs.

Timber logs

Hand hewn

Timber logs are flat on both faces, profiled in a variety of flat designs: channel outside with V-groove inside, channel on both sides, or V-groove on both sides. These too are Tongue & Groove style logs.

Logs

Our uniform and natural logs are used in residential and commercial work alike, and they are known for a hand-peeled finish and long length capability.

A loft and stair inside a log home before the finishes go in: uniform round logs, all one diameter, form the loft railing and the stair rails, beside tall natural log posts that keep their knots and taper, with half log treads climbing a log stringer. — Uniform logs
Turned to one diameter end to end, then peeled by hand for the finish.

Timbers

We manufacture the widest range of profiled red cedar^* timber products in the country, for residential and commercial applications.

Straight off the saw, with the tool marks left showing.

A timber frame going up on a building site: square posts and heavy beams, every face scalloped by the hewing tool, with a hewn timber wall rising behind them and a ladder among the posts. — Hand hewn
The standard finish on our timbers, worked by hand across the face.

Cedar with a smooth, even face, for a cleaner look. This piece is a mantel.

What Is Graded as Standard

Only log home packages are structurally graded as standard. Loose log and timber parts are appearance grade as standard, and structural grading is available on request, for an added fee. A structural grade is what lets an engineer put a log or timber into calculations, not just into photographs, and we are the only structural grader of red cedar^* in the country.

Structural grades

No. 1Premium grade
Headers, beams, girders and ridges
No. 2Wall Log 40 grade
Wall and post components

Log home packages

Structurally graded as standard

Graded through the Timber Products Inspection (TPI) service, and grade stamped or covered by a certificate on request. Wall and post components: Wall Log 40 grade, known as number 2. Headers, beams, girders and ridges: Premium grade, known as number 1. The engineering for your house decides what grade each component has to be.

Loose log and timber parts
