Log Species & Profiles

Log Species

Wood is a natural choice for home construction. It is beautiful, affordable, warm, versatile and energy-efficient. Adventure Series Log Cabins offers 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.
