"plans" usually refer to making something that you can make again and again... using the same dimensions, because the materials you are using are of a uniform nature.....

Peeled logs are going to be unique... each and every one.... it's going to be pretty hard to find any plans for that type of craft, I would think.

Perhaps a better route, would be to look for websites, or catalogs of others who are making this type of product, for inspiration....and sketch out your own ideas. I would expect each piece of peeled log furniture is going to take some 'tweaking' to make the logs fit together.... making it more of a 'custom' piece of furniture, than something you can build from plans.

Ive run across various pieces of log furniture over the years.. Ive seen beds, chairs, sofas, tables.... all kinds of items. It would be a good idea to perhaps look at plans for standard furniture... such as for a bedframe... to determine what dimensions you would need to meet, for mattresses and such.... Most tables are about 30 inches high.... and most restaurant chairs and booths are about 19" from floor to the seat....

If you are building 'to order'... that is, you have a customer order you are filling... it would be a good idea to build it to fit their size....lol, I have a cousin who is about 5'6"... and I'm about 6'3"...obviously, what will be comfortable for one of us, will not fit the other, lol...

I love to work with wood, and I wish you many happy days in your shop. =D

I just came across a site with over 16,000 downloadable woodworking plans at:
http://tinyurl.com/WoodWorkingTedPlans


Here is an honest review


If you want to start a woodworking project, you need all the necessary information, including schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where TedsWoodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step explainations of how the plan should be done and put together.

There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your perception.

In Ted's Woodworking you will get everything you need:
-Diagrams which are detailed with a full set of dimensions
-Step -by-step instructions how to start your project
-The necessary materials for that particular project
-All the woodworking tools you will need

If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written. The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.

Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more.

There is also a lifetime member acess included in the package and you get these extras for no cost to you as they are free with no additional charges at all! This alone is worth the entire price for TedsWoodworking.

Ted Mcgrath is a very dedicated and experienced woodworker who knows what he is talking about when it comes to woodworking and DIY projects s he has been a woodworker for many many years.

Cons
There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to do the downloads on because of the size of them. But the members area include an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading.

Bottom line:
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be insane not to.
