Welcome to the Gallery

I have always enjoyed building with logs.  My job is made even more enjoyable being a float rated pilot.  Flying over this beautiful wilderness and looking over timber sales that have the size and quality we want is a new experience and adventure every time we fly out.  My wife Wendy enjoys going along to help with inventory.  Since this part of Alaska is also known for its World Class Salmon and Halibut fishing we always take time to enjoy our favorite outdoor pastime.  The plane is a 1957 DeHavilland Beaver.

One of our more recent projects using these magnificent cedar logs ended up on Lake Superior.  The origin of the logs was near the mouth of the Stikine river in SE Alaska.  To view this project click here.

Selecting logs from high quality cedar is fun when you have logs like this to pick from. Some of these logs have 40" base diameters. You will not find a finer quality log anywhere in the world. Although the difficulty of logging these timbers in a mountainous region plus the cost of added shipping makes this timber more expensive, most of our clients still choose this incredible cedar for their home.  It is very rewarding to see these logs progress from such a raw stage to completion of someone's beautiful home.

Flying out to look at timber is also like being on a wildlife tour.  We see whales, sea otter, large schools of salmon, moose, Dahl sheep, mountain goats, and bear. 

All of our cedar is found on islands and remote wilderness areas requiring us to fly to various timber sales and select logs that fit the size and quality we are looking for.

Alaskan Yellow Cedar logs are so massive that this semi could only hold 7 logs. These logs are 30-34 inches on the base, 65 feet long, and approximately 450 years old.  They will end up being part of our new model near Anchorage, Alaska.
