Hand-Crafted ¼ Scale Western Reserve Homestead Log Cabin

This one-of-a-kind ¼ scale Western Reserve homestead log cabin will enhance any park or yard. It can have many uses (dog house, play house, well-head cover, eye-catching, useful lawn ornament/storage unit) and be passed down through the generations. The logs, once live trees fallen from a micro-burst, were weathered for years, de-barked, hand-sawed and hatched to fit. The cabin also features redwood gable-end clap board siding, beech trennels, spruce purlins, and western red cedar rakes, fascia, window jams, and entry door. Redwood knobs, turn-buttons and vintage Stanley sweet-heart hinges highlight the openable window sashes having pre-20’s wavy glass. The Z cleated entry door functions with an old salvaged sash latch and pre-World War II screen door hinges. The roof system consists of spruce rafters ½ lapped and double pinned at the ridge (European style) and is covered with Hunter Green steel metal roofing. 100-160 year-old salvaged wrought-cut nails (some pre-Civil War) and chinking applied with a mortar bag keep the classic quaintness. Skids made from creosote pressure-treated yellow pine (once telephone poles) make it easily moveable so you can just “Skid it out of here!”
