A synopsis of some of our work.

Detailing

Details are what it's all about.

Anyone can stack some logs up and call it a log house, 
what makes the difference are the details.

Ask about things like pre-stressed Kerf cuts, over scribing, 
flooring slots, scribed post and beam connections, Emseal, etc.

If your builder doesn't know about these things...
what else don't they know?

Joinery

A large part of the allure of a log house is the joining of large timbers. 

Modern day equipment and hardware makes it possible to replace 
much of these time honoured wooden connections with bolts and steel plates.

We at CWLH have chosen not to use steel 
where a properly constructed wooden joint will do the job. 

We believe that the skills involved in joinery are 
at the heart of what we do, and what our clients want.

Carving

We offer accent carvings which can make your home truly one of a kind. 
Carvings are often incorporated into the stairs or the roof structure.

Milling

We offer custom milling of lumber on medium sized orders 
( 1000-5000 board feet ) 
Our mill can produce timbers up to 12" x 12" and up to 40' long.

Materials

Our location on Vancouver Island enables us to build 
with some of the finest Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar available. 

Every effort is made to obtain logs from small privately managed 
woodlots where concern for the next generations needs is high.

Transport

After your project is completed each and every piece 
is numbered and recorded on a code plan, 
then it is loaded into a closed container for international orders 
or onto an open trailer for local orders.

We can deliver anywhere in the world that a truck can get to. 
Recent homes have been shipped to Japan and to Denmark.
