Round logs from Finland – 150–300 mm, turned or laminated, shipped worldwide
A round log wall is solid wood and nothing else. We turn ours from a single trunk, or laminate them when a larger or more stable section is needed. Slow-grown northern pine, machined in Finland and shipped as a numbered kit anywhere in the world.
Profiles, sizes and lead times
The range runs from a slim 150 mm log for saunas and outbuildings up to a 300 mm log for year-round houses and public buildings. Diameter drives the price, the thermal performance and the look, so it is worth choosing it against the intended use rather than the budget alone.
Why choose round logs?
Round logs combine the oldest building method in the north with modern machining. Whether it is a holiday cabin or a year-round house, a solid log wall insulates, buffers humidity and needs no separate cladding. Our round log range covers diameters from 150 to 300 mm.

Solid round logs – Authentic and sustainable construction
A solid round log is turned from one trunk, so the grain runs unbroken from end to end. That gives it the look people expect from a log building and the strength that keeps it standing for generations.
Why choose solid round logs?
- Appearance: a turned round log gives the classic log look, and it suits a traditional cabin and a contemporary house equally well.
- Strength: a log turned from a single trunk keeps its shape and its load-bearing capacity decade after decade, with no glue line to fail.
- Low carbon: wood is renewable, and the timber in a log wall keeps its stored carbon locked in for the life of the building. Machining it takes far less energy than producing concrete or steel.
- Indoor climate: solid wood takes up and releases moisture, which evens out indoor humidity without any mechanical help.
Versatile applications
Round logs suit almost any timber building. Pick the diameter to match the use and the climate: small buildings at the bottom of the range, year-round homes at the top. The most common uses are:
- Saunas and sauna cabins
- Sheds and outbuildings
- Holiday homes and cabins
- Detached houses and showpiece holiday homes

Round log: Traditional building material in modern architecture
Timelessness and tradition
Round logs are one of the oldest and most durable building materials in the world. With a history spanning centuries, they remain a popular choice among builders due to their durability and classic appearance. Building with round logs honours the traditions of the past while providing a sustainable and natural alternative to modern construction.
Modern applications
Round logs are a traditional material, but they work just as well in modern architecture. Architects are using round logs in new ways, drawing on their natural beauty and durability to create buildings that sit comfortably in their surroundings.
Sustainability and durability
Round logs are also a sustainable choice for construction. Manufacturing them uses less energy than concrete or steel. They are a natural, renewable material, and their durability keeps a round log building both good-looking and usable for decades.
Future trends
Round logs are not a heritage product. Architects are specifying them for new work, and self-builders choose them for the look and the longevity, in contemporary designs as readily as in traditional ones.
Round logs combine tradition, durability and beauty in a single material. Their versatility makes them an attractive option for both traditional and modern buildings. Whether it is a cabin in the woods or a modern town house, a round log wall is a timeless choice.
