Frequently Asked Questions

We started building log furniture in 1991. In 2000 we started getting requests for rustic lodge style pieces but not necessarily  log furniture. So at this time we developed a line of reclaimed barn wood furniture with straight lines yet a rustic look. Today we have 6 different options within the reclaimed barn wood style.

The specifics on warranty service depends upon the nature of the problem.

For the aspen log furniture, the aspen trees are primarily harvested in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, often times in the North Park area of Colorado.

The reclaimed weathered wood is taken from old barns, outbuildings and fences  mostly local sources from Colorado and Wyoming.

All log furniture is crafted from dead standing aspen trees.

The reclaimed barn wood  used in our collections is mostly pine, some fir.

For local orders only, after inspection of your wood  we will consider using it for your project if it meets our criteria.

The log furniture is handcrafted from dead / dry wood. Even though it is dry, minimal cracking is possible but not likely. If a crack ever grows to compromise the structural integrity, we will replace the compromised piece.

Peeled aspen is our standard lighter log finish. It is has beautiful light brown color tones. Unpeeled aspen is a darker more rustic looking log finish with dark brown & gray color tones.

Liquid beeswax with linseed oil is applied to all pieces. Once a year it is recommended to reapply the wax to the furniture. To apply, wipe on wax using a cloth and buff out the excess. We sell the wax in small quantities if you need some. Also, a urethane/tung oil mix is applied to tops of chests, dressers, tables and seats for added durability. Use a damp cloth to wipe up spills and maintain the finish.

The log furniture has beeswax and linseed oil on it to seal and protect the wood. This finish really brings out the beautiful wood grain. The sheen is similar to a matte finish. With this finish you actually feel the wood not the finish. Touchups and repairs are easy. All other furniture receives a beeswax & linseed oil finish as well except all horizontal surfaces receive multiple coats of urethane/tung oil for extra durability.

For most cleanups use a damp rag with mild soap and water. For smudges or dirt you may apply beeswax to the area and often times this will clean it up. We do recommend that every 1-2 years you reapply beeswax with a clean rag to the furniture & buff out the excess. This will maintain the woods luster and preserve your quality furniture .
