I just found a site with thousands of downloadable woodworking plans, it s really great. You can check it out here ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info ) 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 and 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. 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. 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.

If you are wanting an authentic looking log bed, then, by all means use peeled "green" wood, white pine is okay, even popular or maple would be suitable. Plus maple and popular will not yield the sticky sap white pine will. I have used popular and maple for log furniture after the logs were peeled and seasoned for just two weeks. IF you are planning on using wooden pegs for fastening devices, they will need to be made from a stronger wood such as yellow pine (with white pine) or oak ( with popular or maple) that have been seasoned. By using green wood you will have an amount of shrinkage, that is a given and will need to be considered in your planning. The shrinkage will produce some bows and possibly some deep cracks, ( shrinkage of lengths over two feet is very slight,,, shrinkage is mostly in the diameter ) that is the nature of the beast as it seasons. If you are using seasoned wood pegs the green wood logs will tighten against the seasoned pegs creating a very tight, strong, durable connection. If you are not planning on using seasoned pegs for the connections and opt for metal connectors, make sure the metal connectors are secured by the longest screws with the deepest threads possible. Full mortise and tenon joints with secure pegs is not only authentic but the best way to deal with log joints. Allow a year of seasoning before applying any finishes. Now, on the other hand, if you want something that is stylized and just looks somewhat old,,, then follow the advice of everyone saying you need to completely season the wood before use.

No, but I went to a log home expo that tours the country and they had beautiful furniture and lighting decor, Do a search on Log home expo. Any log home design magazine will also list vendors of log furniture in the back index.
