At first glance, it may seem that all log home companies produce home packages in their own facilities. However, this isn’t always the reality. Blue Ridge Custom & Log Homes has opted to partner with Honest Abe Log Homes for several reasons, one being that Honest Abe is a genuine manufacturer of custom log and timber frame homes as well as commercial structures.
Since 1979, Honest Abe has been milling logs directly in their own facility, meticulously crafting each custom package at their National Headquarters in Moss, Tenn. They understand that thorough preparation is essential and cannot be rushed, beginning with the careful selection of only the finest Eastern White Pine.
This commitment to quality and attention to detail is something that Blue Ridge Custom & Log Homes can confidently rely on when serving our customers.
To minimize movement, shrinkage and settling in the timbers over time, the company combines natural air-drying and kiln-drying measures in the manufacturing of every Honest Abe timber.
Every piece of wood used is dried in kilns on site, then stored under cover until it becomes part of an Honest Abe Log Home. The drying process produces a more stable log and tighter joints for the construction of your log home or building. Because they don’t believe in rushing this process, Honest Abe averages a nine-month inventory of timbers, something many of the competitors can’t say.
The factory uses 3-D modeling and computer-driven equipment overseen by a team of dedicated craftsmen. Every log that goes into a home or building is cut to exact specifications for a perfect fit – a critical step when it comes to windows, doors and corner notches.
Honest Abe knows how to plan for shipping.
For every individual building, the pre-cut logs are numbered, wrapped and neatly bundled for protection during delivery. You can know and trust that each piece of your wood structure that comes from Honest Abe’s facility has been carefully produced, graded and packaged..
