Great Lakes LoG CraftersBy John Schroeder.
Once a year, a group of handcrafted log builders meets in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Michigan to share ideas on the craft of log building. The Great Lakes Log Crafters Association has been meeting for over 30 years, and describes itself as ‘an organization of professional log builders and others interested in the art of handcrafting log structures.’ This year the moving conference will be meeting April 12 & 13 in SLHS’s own town of Grand Rapids, MN.
The two-day gathering packs in a combination of lecture-presentations and craftsmanship demon-strations. Recent gatherings in the past, members have demonstrated cutting dovetails, scribing and cutting lock notches, media-blasting logs for surface restoration, and chainsaw carving feathers out of scraps from scarf cuts. This year’s conference includes presentations on curved paneling, building an s-curved stairway, historic log structures, and engineering for log, log blasting, and other topics.
Another exciting component to the 2019 Annual GLLCA Conference is the location and venue. The Log Crafters Association will be meeting at The Forest History Center, a site of the Minnesota Historical Society, which features a recreation 1900 logging camp, forest walking trails, and the main interpretive center where most conference of the conference activities will take place. The event is open to public attendance, and registra-tion as a guest can be found here and inquiries can be directed to Kay at [email protected].

the Lost fortyThursday evening preceding the GLLCA confer-ence, we are excited to be sponsoring an evening of north woods music heralding back to the age of the lumberjack. The Lost Forty will be play-ing April 11 at the Myles Reif Performing Arts Center in Grand Rapids.
A native of the northern Min-nesota town of Bemidji, Brian Miller teams up with Wisconsinite Randy Gosa as The Lost Forty. The Lost Forty revives and performs the Irish-influenced songs of men who roamed the Great Lakes region in the days when pine was king. Miller (Bua) and Gosa (Myserk) have toured the US with their Irish traditional music groups. Together they mix a passion for northwoods history and folklore with their love of arranging forgotten songs to bring to life this rich but under-explored music.

Log-Gevity™ End Grain Sealer Excess moisture that finds its way to cracks and voids will ultimately cause the finish to fail and encourages wood decay. The sawed ends of logs and lumber are the most susceptible to such cracks and voids due to the fact that the log has
been cut open at these ends. In fact, the immersion of a butt end of a sawed log in water will increase its total mass by 12% in less than one hour. End Grain Sealer has been specifically designed
to counteract such moisture penetration. Coverage: Approximately 75-100 sq. ft. per gal. Made in the USA.1 gal. P012-LE00B $64.00 $54.40 5 gal. P012-LE00C $312.25 $312.25

X-100 Wood Protective Coating An EPA VOC compliant wood finish consisting of essential wood protecting ingredients blended in a paraffinic oil which is non-sensitive to ultraviolet rays. Designed to penetrate wood. When using prior to caulk-ing, use a 1-part urethane caulk. Application: Apply
above 50° F. If spraying, use a brass tip. Apply as much as the wood will absorb; do not oversaturate. Back brush to ensure proper surface penetration. Coverage: 100-200 sq. ft. per gal., depending on porosity of surface. Cleanup: Mineral spirits or soap & water. Made in the USA.

Log-Gevity™ Log Stain & Stabilizer Designed as the first step for vertical wood surfaces. Protects logs from UVs, water intrusion, and ultimate wood degradation by integrating metallic UV inhibitors, zinc borates, and water repellents within its formula. It
extends color fastness while addressing certain harsh elevation and climate conditions. This is achieved by isolating certain solvent-borne wood stabilizing ingredients. These ingredients enable it to penetrate the wood to deeper levels, enabling the colorant to migrate further in the wood, which ultimately extends the life of the finish. Log Stain & Stabilizer stabilizes the wood, protecting the second semi-transparent coat. Application: Apply above 50° F. Coverage: 100-400 sq. ft. per gal. Cleanup: Soap and water or mineral spirits. Made in the USA.

Log-Gevity™ Log Finish Coat The second step for use on vertical wood surfaces. It consists of several essential wood protecting ingredients blended to generate a strong adhesive bond with Log Stain & Stabilizer and reinforce the UV and moisture inhibiting
attributes which maintain and protect the life of the finish. Provides an aesthetically appealing, natural-looking, rich, warm glow commonly associated with natural wood finishes. Unlike many film-forming finishes, it is breathable and will not crack or peel. Application: Apply above 50° F (3-5 years after coating with Log Stain & Stabilizer). Cover-age: 100-200 sq. ft. per gal. Cleanup: Soap and water or mineral spirits. Colors: The same as Log Stain & Stabilizer. Made in the USA.

April Sales!X-100 Deck Stain protects new, faded, dense, and seasoned pressure-treated, cedar, redwood and other hardwood decking lumber. It enables the natu-ral wood grain to show through. In the case of an old deck (more than 3 years old), the wood grain has had an opportunity to be exposed to general weath-
ering conditions that naturally open its pores. X-100 Deck Stain has been recommended for use on such surfaces, as the first and only step (resealing every 2-4 years as necessary). Application Temp: Apply above 50° F. Coverage: 200-400 sq. ft. per gal. Cleanup: Mineral spirits or dish detergent & water. Made in the USA.
