CUSTOM HAND-CRAFTED
LOG FURNITURE
In the northeastern corner
of Oregon, in a county called Wallowa, we at Bronson Log Homes
employ a few expert woodworkers to create handcrafted log furniture
from small diameter pine salvaged from local forests.
Working in a place that's
only accessible by two scenic mountain roads, and where the elk
still outnumber the humans several to one, has made us feel
downright sorry for those trapped in "civilization". And, so
we decided to capture a bit of the Wallowa County lifestyle in our
furniture, and offer it to you!
We take a good thing and
make it better. At Bronson's, we hand-pick the wood, then dry
it slowly and carefully until it has a moisture content of just 6% -
quite a bit lower than the industry standard of 10%. Then, we
peel the wood by hand, and if you prefer a more rustic look, we can
"skip peel", leaving traces of the bark on the logs.
We use only solid wood in
all our blue pine furniture and you'll notice that we keep our wood
thick, at 1 3/4", using full length logs (as opposed to uniformly
cut pieces laminated together) so, the natural beauty of the log's
grain and it's natural rounded shape is maintained in the furniture.
This means your furniture is truly original and totally unique.
For beds, stools, staircase
and deck railing and other pieces, we use lodgepole hand-picked from
our forests, never uniform pieces ordered from a mill. That
way each log is allowed to lend its own individual charm to the
finished piece.
We build bunk-beds in
special sizes. We produce armoires, computer desks, bars,
benches and countertops. We can do picture frames, mirrors,
entertainment units, and toilet paper holders. We also use
what we call character wood, those extra burly logs, to make your
piece of furniture a true work of art. In short, we can do
just about anything you'd like. Of course, we do charge a
little extra for custom creations and character wood but, the end
result is always worth it.
Because we still do things
pretty slow around here, you'll have to be a little patient.
But, the end result is this: we have so much confidence in the
quality of our products, that we back each one with a limited
lifetime guarantee. That means if you buy one of our dressers,
and a drawer breaks, we'll replace it, absolutely free. (We
can do this because we're certain our drawers won't break, under
normal wear and tear.)
Tell us what you want.
If you see something you like here, great, we'll be happy to make
one especially for you. But, we also welcome your ideas.
If you have something in mind you'd like, and don't see it pictured
here, give us a call and we'll see if we can help you create the
design of your dreams.
