Wood, with all its knots, color variety, texture and grains, has its own stories to tell. It reminds one of the great outdoors and the peace and tranquility you enjoy when you are in natural surroundings. This is, perhaps, the secret to the popularity of log furniture. Unlike conventional furniture that is all about lines and symmetry, rustic furniture feature wood in all its glories – grain irregularities, knots and all. It harks back to the time of the country’s founding fathers, who created their own log furniture for their log cabins.

Log cabins have been around since 3500 BC. But the Westward expansion in the United States in the 1800’s brought a large increase in the building of such cabins. These cabins were necessary since the pioneers of the expansion did not have much in the way of tools and machinery to build their homes. Once the cabins were built, there was very little to furnish them with…so, the inhabitants began constructing log furniture.
