12) Q: What species of trees do you build with?
A: Most of the homes we build are done in White Pine. We have built many homes with red pine (Norway) also. The White and red pine are pine species we harvest locally.We tend to build with the white pine because the trees tend to settle less, it is a softer wood and tends to be a little more energy efficient. We do use red pine for all of our roof logs because they grow straighter at greater heights than the white pine and have superior strength.
We do have access to Western White Pine and dead standing Lodge Pole pine from Montana, and we can also get Western Red Cedar, and Engelman Spruce. We have access to all species of trees suitable for handcrafted log homes.
