Historical Origin And Design Inspiration

Designed From The Historical Record - Fine Art

Yellowstone National Park, established by the U.S. Congress as a national park on March 1, 1872, is located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, though it also extends into Montana and Idaho. The park was the first of its kind, and is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is dominant.


Aboriginal Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. The region was bypassed during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 1800s. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early to mid-1800s, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. The U.S. Army was commissioned to oversee the park just after its establishment. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than 1,000 archaeological sites. Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468 square miles (8,983 km), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent.


Most Designs Used Today Were Conceived Hundreds Of Years Ago By Some Of The Worlds Most Famous Architects And Designers Working For The Aristocracies And The Well To Do Of Their Period.
Many of these architects and designers are as well known as Leonardo da Vinci (renaissance architecture) or Michelangelo,s (baroque architecture) as well as more recently William Morris, John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement in America circa 1900.) Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene to name a few.


Every Successful Creative Enterprise Is Always Built On A Foundation That Was Laid Down By Its Predecessors.
All creative people are dependent upon the groundwork laid down by those who came before them. H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.

This Lodge Style Furniture Is Built From Solid Cedar Square Beams

This Lodge Style Furniture Is Built From Solid Cedar Square Beams that have been fully cured by natural desert air drying. All timbers are cured for at least 2 years to less than 6% prior to being tenon joined, pegged and doweled to create a solid structure. This solid structure would be likened to the way a well built wooden train trestle or old 19th century barn would be built. Then all timbers are hand hewn by our master carvers using a draw knife to make the beams appear as pealed logs. We also hand chiseled to add a bark appearance if a bark look is desired. This method, although labor intensive insures the structure integrity and the bark will never fall off.


Let's Compare

Most log beds are built with semi cured lumber taken directly from the forest. Many of these beds are not structural even though they would lead one to believe they are at first blush. Most makers of natural log beds ask that you put your mattress on a steel frame inside the facade of the log bed.
The reason is usually the instability of the lumber. These natural logs will usually continue shrink 20% to 35% more once they are in the environment of your home. This allows the slip joints to shrink and almost always bow and twist. If the weight of your mattress were also being supported by these semi cured logs it could add additional bowing and warping.
This of course makes most of these natural log beds, that appear to be quality furnishings, eventual firewood.

This Custom Furnishing Is Hand Carved To Shape from thick natural air dried exotic solid timber by our master carvers. All design carving is a solid part of the main structure, (no glued up or add on design pieces, veneers or fake materials). Design carving appears on all sides allowing all of our furnishings to be used in the middle of the room as well as against a wall.


All Bed Structures Include Steel Reinforced Side Rails that bolt to the head board and foot board making each bed structure solid and with out wobble. The rail height is your choice. Mattress slats are 2" X 4" solid timber allowing your mattress a solid support structure.
