Each full-scribe, handcrafted home has each log scribed to exactly fit the log below, therefore,
everyone is an original and can never be duplicated, other than the floor plan.
Each log in our log homes are handcrafted by our skilled craftsman and reassembled in our log yard, they
are numbered, then dismantled. Next, they are shipped to the building location to be erected on the permanent site. Above are pictures of work in progress.
