Twenty-Eight Years of Experience Dave White, President of Pioneer Logs, and his family have been building log homes for over 28 years. They have the best and most modern equipment available, and have sold logs across the entire Western United States. "We now have sales representative in many Western States, and are looking more dealers" states Dave. Pioneer Logs, Dave's company, has sold literally hundreds of log homes. So many in fact, that Pioneer only provides a list of current clients and the last ten log homes sold when asked for references. We want you to know how well we are doing in keeping our clients happy. "A log home is like fine leather," states Dave, they are warm and comfortable, but seem to breathe. I have never found an odor or smell to stay long in a log cabin. Further more, tests and experience indicates that log homes are safer. They catch fire less easily than conventional home constructions and they seem to be almost earthquake proof."
Location: Dave's mills are located near the Ashley National Forest, which surrounds beautiful Flaming Gorge Dam and its Colorado River runoff. "Our primary timber are lodgepole pines," states Dave. "It's a unique timber source. It reaches a height between 20 and 80 feet with a diameter of only 1 to 3 feet. This makes ideal timber for log home construction, but of little use for other commercial endeavers.
Logs: We use dead standing lodgepole pines. Unlike other forest trees, most lodgepole pines do not live beyond 100 years. Undisturbed they remain standing for years more. Most of our logs have a moisture content of less than 10%, something unheard of in most parts of the world. Until they are removed by fire or by logging lodgepoles remain standing, stopping the growth of other more valuable trees. The lodgepole was first given the name lodgepole by explorers Lewis and Clark. They observed that the Great Plains Indians would go up into the mountains and cut down lodgepole pine tree to use as support for their lodges or tepees. Today, thousands of families are still going into mountains to cut down lodgepole pines for their homes and lodges.
