ABOUT OUR COMPANY

Quality Log Furniture

Quality, customized furniture is our goal and our promise. Every piece of log furniture is handcrafted to bring you a beautiful and unique piece of art. While conventional furniture often features pristine wood surfaces, graceful lines and delicate legs, we at Twist of Nature create log designs that boast the uniqueness of knots, grain irregularities, powerful log lines and overall character of the log. Our Norway Pine logs are local or trucked in from northern Minnesota. Our workshop is located in Princeton, Minnesota, where each log is hand and water peeled, hand sanded, dried and turned into a custom creation for our customers to use in their homes and cabins. It’s the details that matter, right down to each pick, split or miter.

Hand-Tooled Craftsmanship

Hand and water peeling helps preserve the pine’s beautiful grain, rustic knots and unique color variation. We take special care in this process to ensure quality. Hand and water peeling helps preserve the pine’s beautiful grain, rustic knots and unique color variation. All logs have been dried naturally and may have worm tracking, cracks and checks. This adds to the natural beauty of the wood and also gives each piece its own character. Cracks and checks do not affect the structural integrity of the furniture. All of our furniture is hand sanded as well, and the ends are tenoned to enforce rigid construction. Our furniture is built to last, and we know you will enjoy it for years to come.
