Our Heritage
Today at Damstrom Log and Timber Homes, we maintain the heritage of Scandinavian craftsmanship and style.
Our trademark is the use of the Traditional Swedish Dovetail Notch with any of three different styles of logs: D-log, Full Round Scribed, and Flat on Flat Chinked.
This notch is one of the most exacting expressions of a craftsman's skill. This effort yields benefits in both structural integrity and decay resistance.
This building system has been used for centuries in many European countries, particularly Sweden where it is still used today.
In 1903, Bob's Grandfather came from Sweden as a teenager working with his uncle, a skilled log builder, which together they built many pioneer homes of this style in the area, many of which are still used today.
Whenever I am in doubt of a style or how to, I ask;
"If my Grandfather had my tools, how would he do it?"
