The right type of wood
With important constructions such as wood buildings the choice of the raw materials is essential for perfect quality. Honka uses only the wood of the Nordic pine for the log structures.
Experts regard the Nordic Scots pine as the best material for log houses because it is particularly resistant to decay and is characterised by a high share of core wood, pores rich in resin and slow and even growth.
The right drying method
Choosing the most suitable building material includes expert handling of the material. At Honka the Nordic pine wood is first pre-dried in a rooted open-air store. Following this the wood is brought to the optimum level of moisture for wood-working in drying chambers. This careful drying method ensures that changes to shape through swelling and shrinking are kept to a minimum.
Due to their bespoke nature log buildings can be customised to give you the look that you want, just some of the options are shown in the images below and on the next page.
