Each species of wood not only lends a unique look to our cypress, pine and cedar log homes, but offers unique properties to better suit your building environment. Our role in preserving the legacy of the log home demands we take the leadership position in an effort to maintain and expand our natural resources. We support reforestation programs that help plant over 1.5 billion seedlings in the United States each year.

Eastern White Pine is lightweight, soft, even-textured, light in color and easily worked, making it a great choice of pine log homes. Eastern White Pine is probably the least resinous of all pines. Its remarkable durability is evidenced by the number of houses built of Eastern White Pine in New England 200 or more years ago still in existence.
