The Design Stage

The design can be supplied by the customer or the draftsman and architects from Moonstone can work with the customer to create their dream home. The foundation is made on the customer's lot sometime prior to delivery.

Log & Timber Selection and Preparation

The logs for your home are hand selected northen Ontario white pine - one of the finest woods for log building in the world. Logs range in size from 12 to 14 inch tips and 18 to 26 inch butts. The logs are hand peeled with razor sharp peeling tools. A clear, protective coating to prevent moisture penetration and discoloration is applied.

The Structure is Created

Your log shell is handcrafted one log at a time in the Moonstone building yard; all door and window openings are cut and electrical outlets are mortised and drilled. Your timber frame is created in Moonstone's beamery using traditional layout and joinery methods. Frames are pre-fit and drawbored for a tight fit even after shrinkage. Then the timbers receive a final planing and a coat of oil is applied. Building at our own building yard minimizes the noise level and inconvenience for your new neighbours. The bark, wood scraps and saw dust from the building process do not clutter your lot.

Delivery of Your Structure

Your log or timber frame home is tagged and disassembled, then loaded onto trucks for transport.
