Log Construction History
and Our Approach
The craft of log construction dates back thousands of years prior to today's instant
mass-produced conventional housing.
Throughout history, those builders who did strive to improve on the contemporary standards
of their day and succeeded, became the true learned craftsmen of log builders. Their achievements then
became the new standards of excellence.
Moose Mountain Log Homes Inc. has made significant, perhaps even drastic improvements on
the Scandinavian Full Scribe techniques, commonly referred to as the Swedish or
Scandinavian Cope, and we would like to have the opportunity to prove it, beyond any
doubt, to you. These improvements are so advanced they justified our patenting them
throughout North America and the results are so superior we can warrant our
patented log joinery to
remain air and weather tight, without the need to chink or caulk ever.
If in your search for your home's log crafter, you insist on viewing homes lived in for a
minimum of three and preferably closer to five years, you will be able to develop an
accurate comparison of log building techniques. The visual comparison of log joinery
precision with the absence of caulking or chinking together in discussions with those
owners, of their home's year round comfort and their builder's service, will provide a
clearer picture of what is true quality and value far better than any glossy 4-color
brochure.
At Moose Mountain
Log Homes Inc., we know that your findings will undoubtedly match those of our previous
clients who painstakingly have put Moose Mountain to the test against all other log home
manufacturers. However, joinery alone won't create a timeless work of art, you need
superior quality logs and a sculptor's vision to take a two-dimensional drawing and be
able to craft that into a setting that people dream of calling home.
As President of Moose Mountain Log Homes Inc. since 1978, I personally select, deep in the
tall, extremely slow growing Northern Canadian Forests, forests that are in the climax of
their life's cycle, the exceptional quality logs we demand. This too, greatly differs from
the majority of our competition. While, undoubtedly, fast grown young timber is much
easier to work with, the older, harder to find slower grown tight grained logs produce
vastly superior results, which true craftsmen including furniture makers have long understood.
When you are ready to begin transforming your dream of a log home into reality, we have
the experienced draftsman/designer or architect to help you develop your expectations to
the requirements of any building code, and we are the craftsmen who can carve the best of what the
forests offer, into a meticulously sculptured, one of a kind, work of art that will be treasured for
generations to come.
I guarantee that in your search for the best value for your investment, you will not be
able to find a better or even comparably built log home than what Moose Mountain Log Homes
is offering.
Sincerely,
Moose Mountain Log Homes Inc.
