Milled in Chico, California

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.

Hand-peeled finish. Natural and uniform logs are hand-peeled as standard. Uniform logs can also be smooth, up to 13 inches.
Long length capability. We can produce logs up to 50 feet long, if material is available.
Appearance grade as standard. Structural grading on request. How grading works
