Celebrating America’s Independence and The Legacy of Log Homes

Each July, we commemorate the birth of the United States - a nation founded on independence, resilience, and ingenuity. Appropriately, July is also recognized as Log Home Industry Month, offering an opportunity to reflect on how one of America’s earliest building traditions helped shape the country’s identity.

Are American Barns A Thing Of The Past?

The word barn comes from the Old English language, for barley (or grain in general). The first barns were not American by design but were European-style longhouses that included stables and sleeping quarters. Brought to America along with the first settlers, the oldest barns were constructed in the classic “English barn” style.

Why Should I Consider a Higher-Priced Stain?

A simple comparison of the cost per gallon of stain can be misleading, as stains vary significantly in longevity, coverage rates, appearance, and the level of protection they provide. In reality, investing in a premium-quality stain can save you a substantial amount of money over the lifetime of your log home by reducing maintenance costs and extending the time between reapplications.

Do I Need to Mix Clear Topcoats? What is "Boxing"?

'Stir well before use’ - appears on every container of stain and finish we sell for a good reason. Most of our finishes are formulated with low viscosity, allowing for easy application with an airless sprayer and in thin, even coats. Because the pigments in these products are heavier than the liquid components, they can settle to the bottom of the container over time. Thorough stirring ensures a consistent mixture and optimal performance during application.
