Keona
Lodge is constructed out of only the most select grade of lumber and logs.
The primary supports of this post and beam design are 16" Western Red Cedar
logs. This species is used primarily for its resistance to insects and
decay, its beauty, and it sweet fragrance.
In addition to Cedar logs, the outside of the Lodge is protected using
select grade tight knot Cedar siding and cedar fascia. This is tongue
and groove siding that will keep its beauty for ages if it is properly
maintained.
Framing materials for the Lodge consist only of the finest select grade
kiln-dried lumber. Outside walls are six inches thick offering plenty
of insulation from the coldest Yosemite night.
Inside, the ceilings will be covered with select grade tight knot Cedar
liner. It will be lightly stained and provide a bright and vibrant wood
coloring to the entire interior. Cedar ceiling liner will also give the
Lodge that ubiquitous sweet Cedar smell.
To finish things off, the interior and exterior of the Lodge will be protected
with hand-hewn red cedar rails. This will really give the Lodge its
character since the posts will all be a massive 8 inches in diameter and
the rails will be 4 inches. Even though many walls will be conventionally
framed and covered, the log cabin look and feel will be impossible to
escape.
