The Frontier Log Homes send the ability team and a crane to the site and gather the lodge pack on the establishment. Our team can counsel your builder about any inquiries they have with respect to log development. Frontier log homes can likewise send a supervisor to your building site, in this case, the work and crane will have full responsibility. All the work is conveyed on schedule and with efficiency.

Today we're going to look at choosing the right logs for your log home or cabin. We recommend buying the best logs you can – any other element can be upgraded later. Better logs return their value in thermal performance, maintenance and resale not to mention aesthetic quality.

𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞: Different types of wood have varying properties that can affect the longevity and maintenance of your cabin.

Western Redcedar: Naturally resistant to rot and insects, making it a durable option.

Douglas Fir: Ideal for log home construction because of the size, length and the consistence of the tree.

𝐋𝐨𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞: The shape of the logs can influence the home’s appearance and construction method.

Round Logs: Provide a classic, rustic look and showcase the natural curves of the tree.

Handcrafted Logs: Retain individual character and a rustic appearance with the log flare appearance.

𝐋𝐨𝐠 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Ensure the logs are of high quality by checking for:

Tight Growth Rings: Indicate dense wood, which is less prone to cracking and checking.

𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Logs should be properly seasoned to reduce moisture content and prevent shrinkage and warping. Logs cut in the winter are often preferred as they have lower sap levels.

By carefully considering these factors, you can select the perfect logs for your log home or cabin, ensuring it stands the test of time and provides a cozy, beautiful retreat!

A post and beam log home is a type of construction that uses large vertical log posts and horizontal beams to create the structural framework of the house. This method showcases the natural beauty of the logs both inside and outside the home.

#ThrowbackThursday Here's a great video from 2015 using the "Flaren," This tool is flat on one side and has an outcannel bevel on the other. Fitted with a socket handle, the flaren can be used effectively on either side for planing, dressing and as a clean-up tool, rolling off the flared edge. At Cascade Handcrafted, we use this tool daily, building our beautifully detailed, handcrafted log homes and cabins.

Here's a couple great shots from the log yard of what we're currently working on. A heavy timber staircase made from Douglas Fir to go into one of our existing log homes.

Douglas fir staircases in a log home are a stunning feature that combines natural beauty with structural strength. The rich, warm tones of Douglas fir wood add a touch of elegance and rustic charm to any interior.
