Description

Canada's Log People Inc. stands in the forefront when it comes to building handcrafted log homes. Company owner and president, Theo Wiering, founded "The Log People" in 1978 and has been dedicated to building the finest log buildings possible. Our homes are built primarily with Engelmann Spruce, Douglas Fir and Lodgepole Pine, although we use Western Red Cedar on occasion. The logs we use are an average of 12-16 inches in mean diameter, and the tight-grained timber is between 80 and 140 years old. We put a high priority on sustainable forestry; Canada's Log People selectively harvests its own timber from designated forestry areas, which are then replanted within two years. We put back what nature gave us. Our log harvesting is done in the winter when the sap is down. The logs are then air-dried through the year to a desired moisture content of 20 percent or less. As a further measure of quality, over 90 percent of our timber meets the highest or premium grade standard of the Timber Products Inspection agency.
