 Wood
is a natural choice for home construction. It is beautiful, affordable,
warm, versatile and energy-efficient. Barna Log Homes offers
homebuilders a wide selection of log species proven to be great
performers. We select, shape and fit only premium logs to ensure that we
maintain the size and conformity of the log. This way, you get a house
you?ll be proud to call home, and we can take pride in your home wearing
the Barna Log Homes name.
We recommend the following species:
|
 Southern
Yellow Pine is a short-leaf, slow-growing tree
that produces a dense log with a strong grain structure. It is
remarkable for its high-tensile strength. It is considered one of the
most structurally sound wood choices, and it is the most popular species
used in Barna log homes. |
 White
Pine is known for its distinctive light color and medium-coarse
texture, and it has a tighter, less prominent grain than Yellow Pine.
Being lighter in weight, it is ideal for lateral applications.
Aesthetically, White Pine is chosen for its light color and because it
has fewer knots. Barna offers premium White Pine for a variety of
applications. |
 Hemlock
is a unique choice with a fairly uneven grain structure that adds a
particular aesthetic to the style of the home. This moderately hard wood
is also relatively light in weight. Hemlock is available in limited log
sizes and profiles. |
 Western
Red Cedar, with its characteristic light cedar scent and warm
reddish hue, creates homes of distinction. Naturally resistant to
disease and insects, it is relatively soft and light in weight. Western
Red Cedar is typically used in lateral applications and cannot be hewn. |
