Inventory & the process of hand-hewing

Our large lumber inventory allows us the advantage of air drying versus kiln drying.

 


The hewers hard at work


Every hewer has his own pattern

Our hand hewing is not only an art, but is also beneficial to the drying process.


Logs are milled and bulk material is removed for
the dovetails.


Reed lends a hand.

 


All the bits and pieces have to be put together to
make logs into a home.


Axes and drawknives are still everyday tools in
handcrafting the logs

 


Mortise and tenon joints are cut by hand.


Bob Williams (age 90) reminds us that there
is always work to be done. Bob found eternal rest in Fall of 2009 at the age of 91

 


Every dovetail is fitted and every corner is
preassembled in our log yard to ensure a quality fit.
