The inspiration for the name Blue Ridge Log Works came from Blue Ridge Mountain, a favorite hiking & camping spot we've enjoyed for years near Grand Lake, Colorado. My nice friend and brother-in-law Greg Gardner & I earned valuable knowledge in log construction as we were working for a local log home builder. We became fascinated with the opportunities to create furniture from logs. , a huge forest fire few years earlier on family property left acres of dead standing trees ideal for log furniture and an opportunity we could not pass up.
