How's this for a view out your front window? |
 |
The spiral stairway takes you up to the bedroom loft. The small Jotul stove could be removed to increase your living space. The interior walls are still unfinished, allowing you to finish, change or remove them as you desire. |
|
 |
The unfinished bathroom features a double-slipper clawfoot tub, an Enviroet composting toilet and a small propane stove. This photo also gives you a good look at the large slab stone flooring. |

This look at one of the treads of the spiral stairway shows the hand chiseling that has also been carefully applied to the wood flooring, the doors the log ends and on the log edges around the door and window openings. |
|
 |
The loft enjoys a vaulted ceiling with hand shaved log poles in between the structural log rafters. |
|
 |
The loft floor is seen to the left and the vaulted ceiling soars over the primary living area and the kitchen. |
|
 |
The kitchen features a Waterford Stanley cook stove and a Servel refrigerator that can be powered by either propane or electricity. |

The extended roof overhangs help protect the log wall and the main entrance to the cabin. You can see how tightly the logs fit together. It takes a lot of skill to accomplish this and it provides a beautiful log wall |

This log end is representative of the detail that has gone into this cabin. Each log has been carefully double scribed to ensure a proper fit that requires no chinking. As logs gradually dry over a several year period, they also shrink. This double scribe process allows for this. Note also the hand chiseling of the log end for a detailed finish. | |
 |
This may seem like a strange photo, but it demonstrates the forethought required to build an exceptional log structure. Inside the cabin, accommodations must also be made for the shrinkage and settling. Here, the landing of the spiral staircase has a slotted bracket which allows the attachment bolt to slip through as settling occurs. | |

This shot shows the complex fitting of the wall logs and the loft flooring structure. This detailed work takes a great deal of knowledge and skill. |
