Rustic Log Beds

Our rustic log beds feature ethically sourced eastern red cedar logs and branches. These trees are plentiful in our area and have lots of natural gnarl and knots. While cedar trees are in our area, they also are not hardy and tend to die. Allowing us to harvest dead-standing cedar trees to build our rustic log furniture designs. In 2001 Kelly designed and built his first log bed out of dead-standing dogwood trees. While a huge success, we quickly converted to using cedar trees in our build log furniture.

Natural wood bed

Our signature series features the best of the best rustic log beds by Kelly Maxwell. Thus only the wildest and most unique logs find their way into these natural wood beds. Our live edge furniture designs utilize natural wood. We ethically sourced through salvaging from the forest floor, selective harvesting, and dead-standing trees. Thus allowing us to be environmentally responsible and assuring each furniture piece a one-of-a-kind.

The outside or natural live edge of these logs are used to crafted many styles and types of natural wood furniture. Rustic beds, rustic vanities, natural wood countertops, rustic fireplace mantels all feature the natural live edge, creating what is also known as live edge furniture. A unique southwestern area rug by American Dakota will complement any of our custom rustic furniture.

Another great signature series by Kelly Maxwell that feature nature’s wild side.

When designing rustic furniture, it’s always good to think outside of the box. For example, our Mountain man series features basic logs that have little or no gnarl. While solid and functional, they are a simple log bed design. These are trees that have been dead for many years lying on the forest floor, allowing for the sapwood to decay away, leaving the heart of the tree. These rustic beds are scarce as we only collect a few logs a year.

Rustic log canopy beds from simple basic Mountain Man style to a signature bed. We also design and build custom rustic beds to meet your needs.

We look forward to working with you in designing and crafting the style cedar log bed that will meet your needs.
