What is the difference between different log species?
At Telqua Log Homes we build with Englemann Spruce, Fir, and Cedar. Spruce is an attractive light colored wood and is the most economical and common for log home building. Fir is used often for roof beam work in many Spruce homes due to its strength and is priced slightly higher. Cedar is the most sought after wood for log homes. It has a nice color, is resistant to rot, and has its own natural pesticide. Cedar is also the most expensive wood for building.
