I would recommend Orbin “Sonny” Ash. He works for the Indiana State Museum as their head of historic sites restoration. He’s one of the best in the country with regard to traditional building materials and may be interested in contract work. Phone is best.

Hi Sabrina,
I was the Director of the High Point Museum when our two room log structure was hit by lighting and the upper floor burned. Most of the interior logs were heavily charred. I too looked for individuals who had handled such a need... and found no one. Finally, I found Carl Kessler -- Pinehurst NC -- and with a consultant from Old Salem devised a plan to restore the structure. Today it would be hard to tell there was a fire in the building.
If you want to give them my contact info... please have him correspond with [log in to unmask]

[MUSEUM-L] Looking for traditonal log house
builders
Hello! I just had a guy contact me on behalf of a homeowner who had his log house burn. They need someone to repair it in the traditional way with the proper materials, chinking, etc. They are in Sparta NY, but any suggestions to people anywhere in the country would be helpful.
He has found someone in Virginia, I believe, but he’s hoping for someone closer and probably so he can get multiple estimates. Most searches online turn up the “modern” log building, and he even looked through log home magazines with no real luck.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Sabrina HennemanCollections Registrar
