A Closer Look at the Cedar Lake Original Log Bed

Cedar Lake Original Log BedToday we are going to take a look at a log bed that is becoming very popular on our site.  The Cedar Lake Original Log Bed.  This unique log cabin bed is an exclusive bed to JHE's Log Furniture Place as it is lovingly hand crafted by our own skilled wood craftsmen.  So what separates this classic charming rustic bed from the rest?  Let's take a look and see.

First we will start with the logs.  We locally source the cedar logs from friends and associates.  For the cedar logs we want as much character as possible so we find logs that are naturally aged.  What we find are a lot of dead standing cedar trees and cedar trees that had been cut down by farmers and stored in barns.  There the trees are left to sit allowing nature herself to age the logs.  The naturally aged cedar logs are thusly rich in character and many will feature beetle marks, burls, gnarls and other unique rustic characteristics.

The logs are then peeled by hand.  The bark is gripped in the hand and physically peeled off of the log.   It is a very labor intensive and time consuming process, but the end result are amazingly beautiful logs that have their outer bark stripped away while having areas of cambium, or inner bark, left on.  This hand peeling process ensures that the logs keep as much of their uniqueness as possible.  The cambium also adds some color to the whitish hue that Northern White Cedar has.

The Cedar Lake Original Log Bed itself is custom built to your desires.  This is the main aspect that separates this log bed from the rest.  We wanted to give you the ability to create the log cabin bed of your dreams.  We feel you shouldn't have to choose from only what is offered.  Want double log side rails on your Original Log Bed?  You got it.  Want the log headboard raised higher?  Done.   Want to save some space with a metal frame?  No problem.  Want to go all out with extra large logs for the legs, double log side rails, a taller rustic headboard and footboard and a light honey finish?  Yes, I do believe you are getting the picture now.  You tell us your dream and we deliver it to you.

The construction of our Original Log Bed is designed to be sturdy and solid.  Extra large tenons are used in the construction to ensure each and every log bed is rock solid.  With each log bed being different from the next each of the log beds are assembled, checked over, and then partially unassembled for easy transportation into your bedroom.  We design our beds to hold up to kids, to renters, to honeymooners, to the American public.  Our Cedar Lake Original Log Bed is designed so that you can pass your dream, your log bed, down to your children.

So for a log bed this beautiful, with so many options it has to be priced high right?  Wrong actually.  While this might be valid  for many log cabin furniture companies, we are different.  We feel that you shouldn't be gouged in the pocket just because you have good tastes.  JHE's Log Furniture Place is an American company who is out to prove that quality American products can still be found at a good value.  Who doesn't love a good value?  We sure do.

Let our log furniture amaze you, our prices astound you, our customer service astonish you, and our free shipping be the cherry to top off your dream that has now become your reality. Let the original online log furniture store JHE's Log Furniture Place deliver the log bed of your dreams to you:  The Cedar Lake Original Log Bed.

A Closer Look at the CF1139 Cedar Log Glider

cedar log gliderThere is something about the rocking motion that is so relaxing.  It is no wonder then why many find the smooth gliding motion to be just as appealing.   A nice benefit of log gliders is that you benefit from the same relaxing motion as a log porch swing or a log yard swing, but without the need of such a large space.  You can now recreate the relaxing harmony of the traditional front porch on the back deck, out by your stream, on a hilltop, or anywhere else you wish!

Comfortable and relaxing our Contoured Comfort Cedar Log Glider offers a calm and relaxing swaying motion.  Once you take your first glide it is easy to see why the cedar log glider’s popularity has been quietly taking off recently.  Just imagine sitting outside with your friend or loved one in a comfortable wood glider talking about your day and feeling the stress ebb away with each graceful motion.

As with all of the sitting pieces in our Contoured Comfort collection from our co-owned factory Lakeland Mills, the cedar log glider was built with comfort in mind.  Hours of design and multiple prototypes all went in to perfecting our outdoor log furniture collection.

Our Contoured Comfort Cedar Log Glider features contoured cedar seat slats which conform to the body.  The contoured shape of the seat slats are designed to reduce pressure points on the body allowing you to sit comfortably for hours without the need of seat cushions.

The cedar slat back is angled slightly to provide a comfortable sitting angle.  This allows you to sit comfortably without sitting too straight or without the feeling of leaning back too much.  In my opinion it strikes the perfect balance.  The seat and back together allow you to “sink” into the rustic glider while still allowing people young and old to easily rise out of the outdoor wooden glider.

The cedar seat and back slats are attached to the log glider frame with screws to ensure that the pieces stay attached.  Staples or nails can work themselves loose over time.  The zinc dichromate screws used in the construction of our Contoured Comfort pieces will not rust or streak and stain your beautiful porch glider or the floor it is sitting on.

The log glider base is built to not only add to the log appeal of our rustic cedar glider but to also be strong and sturdy.  Multiple log braces contribute to the stability of the base ensuring the only movement you encounter is from the movement of the glider.

Speaking of the glider movement – we searched long and hard for smooth gliding hardware that would allow our log glider to glide smoothly and silently.  We also made sure that the gliding hardware would not rust or corrode – allowing the log glider to maintain its smooth and silent gliding motion for years.

Our cedar log glider comes partially assembled.  Assembly is very easy using common household tools.  Figure on the overall assembly taking around 35 minutes for first time assemblers.    For more information on assembling outdoor log furniture please see our blog here:  Assembling Outdoor Log Furniture
