The
species of wood you choose for your home will depend on your
personal preference. All wood types have different
characteristics, including such factors as texture, color,
durability, and aroma. These will influence your choice of
species for your log home.
Another factor that influences the choice of log is splitting.
All logs will show splits in places along their length. This
is due to the natural drying process which will continue to
take place for years after construction. This is regarded by
many as part of the charm of a solid log home. However, the
degree of splitting will vary considerably with different
types of logs.
