From material choice to joinery and documentation, our quality system is designed to keep handcrafted log architecture tight, true and buildable\u2014today and decades from now.<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Timber, selected for performance<\/b>
\n\u2022 Large-dimension, slow-grown Nordic pine from vetted sources
\n\u2022 Stock on hand: dry, straight timber (lengths up to ~12.2 m) to start builds without delay
\n\u2022 Grading available when required by the project<\/p>\n

Precision as a principle<\/b>
\n\u2022 Lateral grooves are profiled so their edges compress into the wood for airtight joints
\n\u2022 Dried logs are re-milled to remove cupping and ensure straight bearing faces
\n\u2022 Every notch is hand-finished with a knife, then checked for fit and bearing<\/p>\n

Tri-Level Scribing (developed by our Master Log Builder Timo Aro-Heinil\u00e4)<\/b>
\nA scribing approach that anticipates differential shrinkage between the inner and outer faces of a log. By shaping an intentionally unbalanced groove before final seasoning, the method helps the joint tighten as the wall settles\u2014reducing long-term opening of the groove, keeping walls plumb in extended spans and improving sealing. (Outcome depends on species, moisture history and detailing.)<\/p>\n

Corners & special solutions<\/b>
\n\u2022 Standard corner types include dovetail and locking corner; other profiles on request
\n\u2022 Long spans with toothed, multi-layer dowel beams (for larger open rooms)
\n\u2022 Curved and leaning walls and post-and-beam glass integrations are part of our repertoire<\/p>\n

Ready for building services<\/b>
\n\u2022 Pre-bored electrical routes as standard
\n\u2022 T-profile solid-wood side bucks at all door and window openings
\n\u2022 Floating posts in partition slots for anchoring light-frame walls and accommodating settlement<\/p>\n

\u2022 A fine machine hewing treatment on the flat surfaces of the logs ensures longevity in the logs without additional needs for treatments<\/p>\n

Capacity & coordination<\/b>
\n\u2022 Single frames up to ~500 m\u00b2 crafted under one roof at our ~800 m\u00b2 atelier in Naantali
\n\u2022 For large\/distributed builds, modules are crafted indoors by partner workshops<\/strong> to one set of drawings, tolerances and numbering, under Supervisor oversight
\n\u2192 Result: dry joinery, consistent tolerances and uniform surface quality across the whole frame.<\/p>\n

Supervisor Service (for multi-workshop or high-stakes builds)<\/b>
\n\u2022 Up-front review of drawings, joinery profiles and tolerances
\n\u2022 Scheduled shop visits with measurement\/photo records
\n\u2022 Verification of numbering, fit-up and shrinkage allowances before shipment
\nBenefits: consistent execution across workshops, reduced quality\/schedule risk, and clear documentation for handover.<\/p>\n

Documentation & traceability<\/b>
\n\u2022 Numbered components, build log and photo set for every project
\n\u2022 Hand-over package covering timber specs, profiles, allowances and maintenance guidance<\/p>\n

Schedule discipline<\/b>
\nWe plan buffers for the craft steps that cannot be rushed, then coordinate logistics so site work proceeds cleanly. The result is predictable delivery without last-minute surprises.<\/p>\n

Plan with us<\/b>
\nWe work directly with architects and structural engineers to align architecture, detailing and buildability from the start. Share your brief and we\u2019ll propose the quality pathway, capacity plan and timeline.<\/p>\n
