When you order a Handcrafted Log Home from Canadian Log Homes, you deal directly with our Log Home Construction Yard, located in British Columbia, Canada. FALCON LOG HOMES was established in 1989, and is still owner operated by Lincoln Bonter and Tracy Svendsen. It is their guarantee that your log home will carry the FALCON signature of the highest quality and excellence in craftsmanship. Logs arrive in our Construction Yard and are immediately spread out onto log decks and left to air dry naturally. We use winter harvested Engleman Spruce, Lodge-Pole Pine, Douglas Fir and Red Cedar. |

| Logs are hand selected with consideration to size and appearance, and generally average 15" to 20" butt diameter with a 10" to 12" topsize. Log lengths can reach to 55'-0". Smaller sizes are also available for traditional cabin design. Once selected, all logs are clean peeled by hand. All outer bark is removed, as well as any trace of the inner cambium layer that exists in the inner depressions of the log. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Logs are then placed in the hands of an experienced Log Builder, who carefully selects each individual log for its own unique application to each home. The correct cut is determined, then full length scribed. Scribing is the process where the contours of the bottom log are duplicated to the underside of the log above. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Once the log shell is completed, all log ends are curled, sanded and chamfered. Window and door openings are cut to size. All openings and archways are then sanded to a smooth finish.
All log roof purlins, floor joists and beams, once engineered, are supplied beyond the minimum standard. Log railing with posts and custom-designed tennon and mortice log stairways are included in our Log Package price. |
