Logs, & Wood Styles

At Moosehead Rail & Log Furniture Company unique products, designs, and wood styles are what help us stand out among other companies.

Log Styles

Natural Peeled - This log product has a natural hand peeled appearance that allows you to see the log exactly how it is- no mechanical process is done to the log except to peel the bark off by hand or with high pressure water. This process maintains an appearance that allows you to see the log in its natural state including- knots, curves, bumps, burls, bug tracks, etc... -This log type is available in Pine or Northern White Cedar.
-It is used in interior rails, interior furniture, log mantels and some exterior furniture. This is not a good log for exterior railing.

Hand Hewn(draw knifed)- This log product has a knifed appearance that is produced by having the bark removed and then the surface of the log is shaped with draw knife to give it a rustic appearance. This log has a more uniform look due to the knifed appearance while still maintaining a unique look due to the random knifing done to each piece. This log will also have a heavier look than the natural peeled log.
-This log is available in Pine or Northern White Cedar.
-It is best used for all exterior railings in Cedar and can be used for interior railings in Pine or Cedar. It will also be used for most exterior furniture in Cedar and can be used in Pine or Cedar for interior furniture and log mantels.

Bark On-Timberbark- The bark-on or Timberbark is a Moosehead exclusive log product. This log is best compared to "hickory" furniture in appearance but sells for approximately 25% less!
This log is as its name implies, bark-on! This is typically Northern White Cedar that is carefully harvested to maintain the integrity of the logs bark surface. The logs are cut and the bark is protected from the day it is cut to the day it is delivered to you as a finished product. This product gives the log a dark bark appearance that when finished with our exclusive Moosehead water-based sealing system produces a hard durable finish that gives a one-of-a kind appearance that will last for years to come!
-This log is available in Northern White Cedar and is only available in limited quantities throughout the year due to its limited availability.
-The log is used exclusively for interior log furniture.
