FOOTPRINT Handcrafted or Hand-hewn Log Homes, with their whole log construction, have a bold appearance. The sturdiness and sense of presence are unparalleled. FOOTPRINT Handcrafted Log Homes are built with carefully selected Canadian logs. Our veteran log builders process, hand-peel, pre-assemble, and inspect the logs according to strict quality standards at our manufacturing facility. The logs in each home are then labeled, disassembled and shipped to locations around the world. Our experienced woodworkers assemble the pieces before they ship to ensure everything fits correctly. After quality control checks to ensure the home conforms to strict international quality standards, the components are dismantled, packaged and shipped directly to your building site.
