Our logs are dead standing Lodge Pole pine, harvested in the foothills of western Alberta.  This wood offers character, color and has dried naturally, sometimes with all the beetle and woodpecker holes visible.

It’s a great way to harvest material, spending time looking for unique logs and trying to stay in shape packing logs back to the truck.  There is some help to the enviorment in cleaning up possible fuel wood and giving healthy trees room to grow.

These logs are brought home and peeled with a draw knife, preserving the natural shape and markings.  At times the nieghborhood High School kids help out with this step.

Each log is selected and crafted using the natural character to make one of a kind pieces.  I once found a bullet lodged in a piece of wood and left it there, knowing that the owner was a avid hunter and would appreciate the detail.

Indoor furniture is finished with a clear coat of oil or water based polyurethane.  Oil brings out all the color and will amber to that rich honey tone while water will continue to give a more freash wood look.  Our standard for exterior furniture is two coats of an penetrating oil that gives a cedar tone.

All in all we try to take care and consideration in the process, remembering that we’re doing this for you.
