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.
