Handcrafted Rustic Log Homes & Furniture
Mario handcrafts his custom log homes, structures and furniture from start to finish using traditional techniques that Mario learned as a young man in Germany. Designs are hand crafted from a variety of Alberta trees, however Mario prefers designing his unique, one-of-a-kind designs using tamarack, pine, diamond willow and aspen.
Mario is passionate about his craft and is often found hunting through his acreage located near Stony Plain, Alberta, for unique trees and branches that he can use in his designs. He is a master timber cutter and has felled many huge trees safely and efficiently.
Designed by Nature
Built to Last
Mario is very artistic and works with wood pieces with the eyes of a true artist.
“The wood determines the design, it speaks to me as I create my custom log designs. I never build the same item, which is what I love about my craft, I may build the same type of bed for example, but based on the wood I choose and the branches I use, each bed is unique and can never be replicated.“
