Cedar & Douglas Fir Logs — Naturally Unique, Finished to Your Specifications
PowerWood can supply Cedar and Douglas Fir logs for a variety of architectural, structural, decorative, and specialty applications. Because every log and every project is different, we can work with your specifications to provide the size, appearance, and finish that best suits the finished application.
Our whole logs can be supplied in a range of diameters and lengths, depending on fibre availability and project requirements. They are well suited for applications such as custom homes, timber structures, lodges, resorts, commercial buildings, landscape features, entryways, exposed structural elements, and other architectural projects where the natural character of real wood is intended to stand out.
For a clean appearance that maintains the individual shape and character of the log, we typically remove the bark and cambium using a high-pressure water jet. This process allows us to clean the surface while preserving many of the natural contours and characteristics that make each log unique. Logs can also be supplied with the bark intact when requested.
For projects requiring a different aesthetic, PowerWood offers additional finishing options. Logs can be hand peeled for a more traditional natural appearance or shaped using an adz, commonly referred to as hand hewn. Hand-hewn Cedar and Douglas Fir logs provide a distinctive, handcrafted surface that works especially well in timber-frame homes, cabins, lodges, resorts, and other projects where rustic character is an important part of the design.
Whether you require Western Red Cedar logs, Alaskan Yellow Cedar logs, or Douglas Fir logs, our team can help determine the right species, dimensions, and finishing method for your application.
At PowerWood, customization is at the heart of what we do. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, we work with customers to manufacture wood products that meet the needs of the individual project — helping turn naturally distinctive B.C. fibre into something equally distinctive in its next life.
