You can get "pole" permits from the National Forest. It may be somewhat limited. Try looking into it. Otherwise, spot a nice stand of tall straight timbered lot and offer to buy some of it. I see these timber tracts with perfect, tall straight trees and I always think how perfect they would be for a log home.

I've priced these types of logs (although 6x8 non-D) and retail they are very expensive. My solution was to purchase a bandsaw mill and mill my own lumber. More involved to be sure, but the numbers say the mill will just about pay for itself with the first cabin.

If you don't need dimensional lumber, you can get 8-ft or longer logs cheaply from firewood sellers.
