.The Strongest Walls vs: settling, shrinking, leaking thus flies in the windows...

   Please purchase the strongest of wood species,  House Log 30 or 40 grade of wood,  STAMPED by Timber Products. solid interlocking  notches, walls.

   We recommend Lodge  Pole and Douglas Fir,  proves to be the best timber. Doug Fir is the  strongest of softwoods to use.  Hand hewn or milled. Green logs are much easier to mill, peel, form, fit...BUT...house logs can shrink near 10% , hence the settling problems.  Out west we want bone dry or  6% moisture  Kiln Dried is 29%  That’s one third of kiln dried lumber you buy at a lumber yard. We  like mill round logs to FHA and HUD specs,  coped, then notched, with critical precision so we can Add the  proper glue, spikes,  our secret laminating  wood techniques and this guarantees the horizontal joining  fit air tight and stops  the settling.  Like mortar between bricks it wont settle, but it bonds the wood solid, like a glue laminated beam, we have built them 3 –4 stories tall this way.  Any one recommending carpet pad or foam, in between your logs ?   Only buy by the cord.  It should not be called  housing material. problematic

.  If at all possible we choose  wood with color, texture, species of wood that endures longer thru moisture, seasons  and solid fire resistance characteristic is best.

We are Bringing a part of the Wilderness to your home for a warm natural experience of the woods!

A word about log oils... we been constantly using, testing, studying all....  None of it works as they say. This is important “whenever priming bare fresh exterior wood, keep in mind this first application will dictate the appearance of the structure for years to come” and Linseed oil is the best but it darkens with age, it is Flax seed oil and expands and contracts with moisture and heat-cold night and day,

.Cabins:  You need only a quest cabin and R.V. hook-up.  Some people don't want to mortgage for a seldom-used, weekend family retreat.  A small hunting shelter, a week end adventure, a bunk house, a snowmobile warming hut safely out of the rain and cold, a place to dry out and warm up to a wood stove and a hot meal, a built in log bed with without bath room, but a kitchen. sink  We do them all ways with easy and fast construction.  My own is 16x16 with a loft basement and bathroom.
