Unique Handcrafted RUSTIC Logs

Do you like the look and feel of a true handcrafted log home, but THINK that it’s not in your budget?  Let us show you how we can do it!

You can get a “complete log home” package or “logs only” package. We are here to  serve your needs.
The Natural Corner
The "Natural" Corner

check out this innovative style THE "NATURAL" CORNER

This log style is almost indistinguishable from our scribe fit and chinked true handcrafted log homes.
This is a product that is just not common with most log home manufactures.
Even though the logs are milled only on the top and bottom to a uniform size, and are completely pre-notched for easy on-site assembly*, what is really unique about these logs is that the "natural" round shape of the log flyways (or log tails that extend beyond the corner), have been preserved so you don’t see the flat cuts on your beautiful corner logs. These logs are hand peeled with draw knives to give them that true handcrafted look and feel.



These are a great product for a beautiful, luxurious log home.
We find also that they work great as a component to our handcrafted log homes by using them on gables, dormers, garages, sheds, you name it.




Accessories,
  • log stairs railings
  •  character logs
  •  mantels
  •  porch posts
  •  beams
  •  joists
  • purlins
  • trim and much, much more.

*Some job site scribe fitting of each corner log is required in order to match the natural character of each log that passes out of the wall.
