Answer: Offering only these two wood species satisfies 95% of our market demand, and allows us to be far more efficient. This also allows us to ship faster and to offer much lower pricing on our products.

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.

This varies depending upon what part of the country you are in. Pressure Treated lumber is usually Hem-Fir in the West and Southern Yellow Pine in the East and South. The framing lumber is also regionally dependent. It can be Douglas-Fir, SPF (Spruce-Pine-Fir), SYP (Southern Yellow Pine) or Hem-Fir. The roof trusses can also be a variety of the same species, but will usually have msr (Machine Stress Rated) lumber for chords.

Woodfold Roll-Up Doors are offered standard in Maple, Birch, Cherry, Mahogany and Oak. We also offer other hardwood species on special request, though due to quality standards, we don't offer softwood species.

We can utilize most any species that is suitable for structural purposes. However, we often use Douglas Fir because it combines beauty and structural strength comparable to many favorite hardwoods without the shrinkage and weight issues.

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. We also build many log homes out of Douglas Fir (attractive grain colour and superior structural strength) , Yellow Pine (full of character), and Western Red Cedar (attractive color in the grain and a natural resistance to insects and decay) for an up-charge of fifteen to thirty percent.

We work with oak, poplar, maple, and cherry on a regular basis. Other hardwoods are available as limited basis.

We can manufacture wood keys in species other than the ones listed, please call for details.

If you can supply us with this information, we can help you decide on a starting point for your spine selection. We ask for this much information because, "Anyone you ask can GUESS at what spine you need, but the more information you give US the more EDUCATED that guess can be." The standard string material, B-50 is requires no extra "figuring". A fast flight string requires a jump in spine of 5-7 pounds. The Artificial Sinew string is heavy, thick, and stretches very much.

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.

Choosing a species of wood involves more than selecting a color to match your décor. Different species of wood flooring will experience color changes at different rates. In general, more-common species such as oak and hickory will experience minimal color change over time, while less-common species, like cherry will show more color change over time. A Heritage representative from would be happy to recommend the type of wood flooring product that best suits your needs.

Dimension lumber and plywood are available treated with CCA or borate. OSB treated with borate and CCA-treated Parallam are also available. Glulam can be effectively treated with oil-based preservatives, but these are not suitable for use in buildings. Glulam and LVL are very difficult to pressure-treat, however, it may be possible to treat these products with borate during production as with borate-treated OSB currently available commercially.

Any type of wood or wood waste can be used as boiler fuel, but fuels over 55% moisture are more difficult to burn and can be problematic. The best fuels are the driest, as they burn well and typically produce the least air pollution, and usually require the least energy input to produce a given unit of heat or energy. Fuels up to 65% moisture will burn and produce limited energy. With a fuel moisture content of 55% and below combustion is more efficient and boilers will run with less attention.

We are very selective about the wood we use. We only use 100% solid American wood. We do not use particle board or foreign wood in any of our products. Most of our wood comes from local forest, which includes, Cedar, Southern Poplar, Hickory, Ash, and Southern Oak. We also use #1 grade pressure treated lumber, which is dry kiln after treatment.
