Log Furniture
"Log Cabin Furniture Provided By Nature"

Some log furniture pieces do not blend well with every decorating theme in a log home, and few would place an Adirondack chair with a Chippendale desk, not a good idea.

Handcrafted amish furniture and other log craftsman emphasize on knots and blemishes in the wood, diseased patches in the wood and even some tree bark left on the wood, where their log designs boast thick, powerful verticals and cross members in their cabin furniture designs.

Oftentimes log cabin owners feel the need to decorate the entire cabin with all this rustic log furniture, if you really have the love for wood this is fine, but not necessary.

If you need a few choices, you can go with twig furniture, bamboo furniture, primitive or any type of rustic furniture will keep the outdoor look and feel.

I prefer log furniture because of all the natural designs that were handmade, and the time it took to make each piece.

These log craftsman often rely on hand tools more than machines.

The drawknife and spokeshave are essential tools used to peel logs and make tenons.

Handsaws, chisels, hatchets and other hand tools are found in every log craftman's workshop.

Take for example log futons, they are practical and yet they stir our appreciation of human genius and resourcefulness.

Amish furniture is particularly distinctive in that no two pieces look the same. The uniqueness of the logs and slabs ensure that every piece presents a singular appearance.

Rustic log cabin furniture is a form of natural, hand-made freeform art.

It's my opinion that it's the bold and unique character of furniture that speaks to us so intimately.

This style of handcrafted rustic furniture has a "soul that whispers to us about our past" when people produce furniture from the raw materials nature provided.

Early pioneers built their cabin furniture out of necessity, and it retains a romantic charm that inspires thoughts as daring as that Westward expansion.

Cabin furniture is bold and gutsy - yet warm and inviting. It can be massive, yet graceful and it offers us a way to introduce nature into our homes.

The numerous answers to "why this rustic furniture is popular" are as varied as the craftsman who produce these works.

Simplicity, elegance, boldness, history, natural beauty... there is a difference between style and character.
