Rough milled Ponderosa Pine Vigas, Poles and Logs are "machine peeled", meaning a machine strips the bark from the Ponderosa Pine tree leaving a reasonably smooth and uniform surface. A "hand peeled" option can be added giving the Viga, Pole or Log a "draw knifed" appearance.
Vigas, logs and poles are ideal for timber frame, western, southwestern and rustic home or cabin construction. This is some of the same Ponderosa Pine lumber, timbers and vigas being used in the construction of the new Santa Fe Convention Center.
These machine peeled Ponderosa Pine logs and poles are ideal for Southwestern Vigas, as well as beautiful posts, columns or beams for any home, porch, patio, pergola or gazebo where the distinct qualities of natural ponderosa knotty pine is desirable.
