Anyone has experience about this? Please help me.

Thank you very much.

You don't mention where you're located, but you could try these folks:

http://www.puukeskus.fi/toimipisteet

...for all sorts of timber, treated or otherwise. Or if it's just plain old logs you need as in your 2nd example the local firewood place may be able to help.

Hi zax,

I've reached this site, but it shows only small wood and finished wood for home decoration so I've thought it has not that kind I need.

But as you said, I think I should go to take a look. Thank for your information.

Nice day, buddy!

Try this search. The keyword for sawed logs (intended for building a log house) is hirret or hirsiä (or hirsi for the singular.)

If you want unprocessed logs with bark and all, the keywords tukki, tukkipuu, tukkeja, and tukit might give some results.

Yet another keyword: pyöröhirsi for round (building) logs with no bark — much like those in your picture.
