Our structural logs incorporate laminated wood timbers in a variety of sizes in round, d-log or flat-faced logs. Timbers are produced by laminating 2-inch thick boards with an exterior water-based adhesive and then shaped to form a tongue and groove profile with various face patterns. The benefits of our structural logs extend beyond the mere beauty of their cedar, pine or fir faces.

A greater number of laminated timbers versus solid timber can be produced from the identical count of raw material.

The kiln-dried boards laminated together yield a dimensionally stable timber that resists splitting, checking and/or warping.

The lamination process results in a higher quality, longer lasting product with superior structural integrity and strength.

Structural log products can be pre-cut to blue print specifications, which can lower your material costs and greatly reduce the time requirement for on-site erection of your home. All corners, and window and door openings are pre-cut. Our design staff can develop cut sheets for nearly any set of plans. Structural logs can also be purchased in random length straight logs or in random length with pre-cut corners.

Laminated logs virtually eliminate problems that are commonly associated with log homes. They are the driest and strongest logs manufactured. They provide the beauty and thermal benefits of solid wood construction while eliminating shrinking, checking and movement associated with standard milled solid logs.

Our corner systems combined with the lamination process which adds layers of glue while alternating the grain of the woods makes for an extremely air tight and efficient home. American Craftsman Homes of Colorado offers a variety or corner joints, profiles, and wood species. Logs can be ordered at random length, at designated lengths to be cut on site, or pre-cut to the specific design of the home with your selected corner joint.
