Our skilled trades people work in conjunction with an advanced computer-controlled cutting machine, called a Hundegger, and our log building system sets the highest standard in the industry for extensive pre-cutting, resulting in less waste on site and tighter fitting logs.
The timbers are planed on all sides before being cut by the Hundegger. Our craftsmen will individually mark each tenon piece and its corresponding mortise piece with a part number for easy, on-site assembly.
Once the “Design Phase” of your project is complete the crafting of your home begins at our production facility in Claremont, New Hampshire. At the heart of our factory is a Hundegger CNC cutting machine, capable of very fast and precise cutting.
While the Hundegger is capable of most joinery cuts, hand finishing is often required. This is done by experienced craftsmen who take pride in their work. In some cases, these will be cut and finished by hand. Such work may include, but is not limited to, adzing to create a rustic texture, hand boring holes for pegs and chiseling pockets to achieve a perfect fit.
After the initial CNC cutting and hand work is completed, trusses and braces are pre-assembled in our shop to ensure a perfect fit. At this point, minor adjustments are made and finish sanding is done. The extra attention to detail on our end speeds up assembly time and reduces material waste on the job site.
