Combining historic building styles with conventional design techniques, the woodworkers at Logcrafters Log and Timber Homes create hand-hewn, square log homes. The roots of the dovetail hand-hewn building method comes from 18th Century European immigrants. Early American settlers adapted traditional techniques with resources that were available to create a distinctive American style that has endured through the years. Logcrafters replicate these techniques to give you a timeless home unlike anything else. Traditionally, the hand-hewn home has been a symbol of social prominence and superior craftsmenship. Round log homes were built by transient trappers who forged west building haphazard temporary structures as they pursued delusions of granduer. In this time of technological advancements in our industry, Logcrafters embraces rustic building methods and the value of the human touch. Be it a small fishing cabin, a resort mountain getaway or ranch lodge, each of these homes symbolizes rustic elegance and heirloom quality.

Logcrafters Log and Timber Homes 
Those choosing to create a permanent residence refined the cabin building technique by using the sturdy interlocking dovetail corners. Squaring timbers with a broad axe and hand adz, builders stripped away the rotten outer bark and the sapwood layer, leaving sturdy, durable heartwood. This building style became iconic of the gentry, embracing quality craftsmanship and the image it portrayed.
