Thanks guys for encouraging thoughts and hints, every word was really helpful.
Jay, you're right about lots of wood and wood suppliers here but the forests they harvest now are young, and accordingly the lumber is not what it should be, any more. I remember when I built my log home, back in 2005, I was searching for 16-20" logs and only found 10- 12" diameter with some exceptions.
