It is hard to balance the aesthetics and defensibility when building with wood. I would suggest increasing the time to mine the wooden logs to match the nailed planks of the same type. It should also be logical since logs are 5 times as dense in material value in comparison to planks.

Hmm, I had thought of adding wooden palisades, but that would be a chore. This idea is not terrible, since using 1:1 logs to build is kinda balanced.
I'm inclined to agree.

I would love wood being viable for building bases, might there even be a chance to somehow "harden" logs to make it more comparable to softer bricks?

How about a mechanic like in mekanism to treat the wood (like with some kind of fluid u need a some kind of "machine" for, (e.g. to make coal coke, which could be used for other stuff too, like as an alternative to methane moss) to make wood more durable? A little more effort that also brings some additional value and although u might need to invest extra time the payoff could be enough to not make it useless

I'm in favor of implementing the original idea here because it doesn't require a bunch of new blocks
