NICOLA LOGWORKS - A few photos of our work

This is Tom and Susan's Telluride Home. A chinked system building, with squared, dovetailed corners. The home was designed to fit the building envelope, and is a lovely design. This home was erected at the Colorado site in 2000.

       

No finished photos yet of  Kate and Woody's place, BUT, here are pictures of the doors that Joe Ratushniak carved for them. You can e-mail Joe at: JoeCarver@uniserve.com

Kate and Woody live in Michigan; their log home is on a lake. When John went out for the re-set, he was struck by the abundant wild-life in the area.

Joe collaborated with Kate while working up a design for theses doors, and you can get an idea of both the eco-system and Joe's talent from these pictures. We have seen a lot of Joe's work, and this set of custom sized, maple door panels is a great example of his work. For a look at door detail, click on thumbnail below:

This house is in the village of Whistler, British Columbia. Another home designed to fit a challenging building site. The logs are of yellow cedar, the customers wanted a very pale look to his logs, which he contrasted with dark cherry wood, and cherry wood stain on the trim. Looks really sharp!

                   

Another favourite project: Tom and Nancy's. Here's what it looked like when it was finished in 2000.

          

An oldie but a goodie; The Lightbody house, which we delivered way back in 1993:

     

          

Above are shots of two commercial structures. On the left is the fly-in lodge at Eutsik-built around 1992. ( And there are stories of how the logs traveled to this remote destination! The picture on the right shows the interior of a piece-en-piece/post and beam golf clubhouse we built for our Japanese client in 1995, '96 and '97. We are not the fastest builders in the business - but it was a large building!

We also do log railing and stairs - here are a couple of shots showing two variations of spiral stairs, and a photo of Bruce and Darlene's house showing interior straight rails and stairs.
