Every Tuesday, Cascade Handcrafted tips its hat to the legends of the forest with Timber Tuesday—a weekly celebration of timber sports, craftsmanship, and the rugged roots of Canadian logging culture.
Cascade Handcrafted is known for building stunning log and timber frame homes—but their gazebos and pavilions are just as impressive. These outdoor structures are more than just shade and shelter. They’re an extension of your home, designed to bring indoor comfort to outdoor living.
British Columbia is home to some of the most beautiful forests in the world. These forests are not just scenic—they are also a key part of Canada’s efforts to fight climate change. One way people are helping the planet is by building log homes. You might be surprised to learn that log homes can actually leave a smaller carbon footprint than many modern houses.
Every log has a story. You can see it in the lines, knots, and curves that run across its surface. At Cascade Handcrafted, we call these natural features timber tattoos. They are the marks left behind by time, weather, and growth—and they make each log one-of-a-kind.
Some logs have deep grooves where branches once grew. Others show scars from wind, snow, or even lightning. These marks are not flaws. They are signs of strength. They show how the tree stood tall through seasons of change.
When it comes to building a log home, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about harmony with nature. The placement, orientation, and structure of your home can dramatically influence how it feels, functions, and connects with its surroundings. It’s about crafting a space that breathes with the land, responds to the seasons, and enhances the natural beauty around it.
When it comes to building a home that’s both timeless and tailored, few options rival the beauty and durability of a handcrafted log home. At Cascade Handcrafted, every log is selected, shaped, and placed with precision—creating homes that are as structurally sound as they are visually breathtaking.
Every Tuesday, we celebrate the soul of our homes—timber. At Cascade Handcrafted Log Homes, wood isn’t just a building material. It’s history, warmth, and strength that lasts generations. So today, let’s take a closer look at how our timber tells a story—from forest floor to your family’s front door.
When it comes to building a dream log home that blends rustic charm with modern craftsmanship, Cascade Handcrafted stands out—and so does their material of choice: Western Red Cedar. Locally sourced and naturally stunning, this timber isn’t just abundant in British Columbia; it’s the heart of why Cascade homes feel timeless, durable, and uniquely Pacific Northwest.
In an age where sustainability meets style, the charm of log homes and cabins is experiencing a renaissance—this time with a twist. Enter the world of log homes built with repurposed wood: a beautiful blend of history, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious living.
If you’re dreaming of a cozy log home nestled in the woods or by a lake, here’s some good news: when you buy a log home from Canada and ship it to the U.S., you won’t pay any tariffs. That’s right—no surprise fees at the border. But why is that?
