Log Checking

All log furniture is subject to the natural process of checking.  All of our logs are small diameter cedar trees. Because we use the whole tree in our furnishings, all logs will have cracks or checks. This is a natural phenomenon that is part of the drying process of logs. As our logs are dried for use in furniture, the wood shrinks in length, width and radially around the heart of the tree. As tension develops in the wood due to shrinkage, the log splits to relieve tension. These splits or cracks are known as “checks” in the log. All logs that contain the heart of the tree will develop lengthwise cracks or checks. The check will not go deeper than the heart, consequently, the structural integrity of the log is compromised very little. The checks are natural and are part of the character of the log furniture.  See example below.
