Some people need a particular species of wood, because they are matching to an existing floor. When matching to an antique floor, it is particularly important that you order flooring that will be milled from material that was cut at the same time as your existing floor. This means making sure that your new flooring is coming from original growth and not new growth trees. We also want to make sure that we match the species that you currently have.

We build over eighty percent of all Kodiak Log Homes out of Engelmann Spruce, it has a good strength to weight ratio, is a beautiful blonde wood and is native to many dry climates.

The heartwood of naturally durable species such as western red cedar, yellow cypress and white cedar will all resist decay to some degree, but it is variable. The amount and type of natural fungi-toxic chemicals deposited in the heartwood determine how durable the wood is. The sapwood of all species is considered non-durable. Heartwood of second growth may be less durable than the best of the old growth but probably less variable.
