Honest Abe was established in 1979 by a native of Moss, Tennessee, and that is still where our National Headquarters resides today. With so many years of experience and thousands of homes completed, Honest Abe is a very stable and dependable company. We encourage prospective home buyers to visit us at our headquarters and manufacturing facility to see why so many have entrusted us throughout the years.
Honest Abe Log Homes sells, manufactures and builds log homes and timber frame homes. Each log or timber frame home is pre-cut, notched and numbered using modern, state-of-the-art manufacturing methods. These pre-cut packages are shipped throughout the United States and the world.
A variety of log systems, along with a timber frame system, are available. Honest Abe offers 6x8 and 8x8 milled D-Logs with butt-and-pass corners. Another D-Log profile, 6x12, is offered with dovetail corners. A 8x8 milled round log features an interlocking corner system unique to Honest Abe. A second round system is our 10” log with saddle notched logs and Swedish-coped corners. The Genesis log system is a “square” system available in 6x12 or 8x12 logs, features dovetailed corners and exterior chinking or hand-hewing as an option. Finally, the log system our company was built on, the 6x10 Original Chinked, has dovetailed corners and chinking inside and out.
Honest Abe offers more than just log walls. Our packages include doors and windows, subfloor, second-story beams with tongue-and-groove, various roof styles, porches and decks, interior trim, interior doors and interior tongue-and-groove. All of this makes for a very complete dry-in package. However, Honest Abe will tailor each package to meet a customer’s needs. Honest Abe will even contract to build the home to a dry-in stage within certain distances of the national headquarters.
Honest Abe also operates four company-owned sales models in Tennessee – Murfreesboro, Cookeville, Crossville and Moss – that sell log homes throughout the country. A network of independent dealerships is located throughout the country to offer various construction and sales services as well.
Events are available throughout the year including log raising demonstrations, tours of homes, open houses, seminars, construction schools and more.
