Handcrafted Log Homes
Thomas Wood Handcrafted Log Homes offers 14 years of building experience in the Yampa Valley proving our commitment to prompt, personalized and professional service. Handcrafted integrity blended with nature's finest log materials is what makes a Thomas Wood Log Home special. We are proud of our satisfied clients.
Our location, knowledge, and experience ensures access to the finest quality logs. Full round log construction techniques start with individually selected, dry and stable, Lodgepole Pine and Engleman Spruce logs. The logs are hand-peeled to reveal their individual character and natural beauty. Our talented logsmiths then carefully scribe, cut, and notch each log to fit precisely. State of the art scribe fit and saddle notched chinked style techniques are available. On-site or preconstructed, our craftsmanship is consistently superior.
Our Log Home Design
All of our log homes are custom designed to meet the strict specifications of each individual owner. We offer full architectural design services or we can build from your already prepared drawings. Either the Swedish cope or the saddle notched chink style log notching techniques are available. It is also possible to incorporate conventional stick frame components (i.e. wall systems, roof systems, and floor systems) into each home. These conventional framing systems can have nonstructural logs attached to them to give the appearance of a full log wall, floor system, or roof system. This can be done to facilitate the installation of plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. Or to create a smooth finished drywall or plaster contrasting effect. We also build structural log roof systems and floor systems to be installed into conventionally framed homes. These log accents as we call them can be easily introduced into the design of your conventional home to give you a more massive and rustic charm.
