- "plans" usually refer to making something that you can make again and again... using the same dimensions, because the materials you are using are of a uniform nature..... Peeled logs are going to be unique... each and every one.... it's going to be pretty hard to find any plans for that type of craft, I would think. Perhaps a better route, would be to look for websites, or catalogs of others who are making this type of product, for inspiration....and sketch out your own ideas. I would expect each piece of peeled log furniture is going to take some 'tweaking' to make the logs fit together.... making it more of a 'custom' piece of furniture, than something you can build from plans. Ive run across various pieces of log furniture over the years.. Ive seen beds, chairs, sofas, tables.... all kinds of items. It would be a good idea to perhaps look at plans for standard furniture... such as for a bedframe... to determine what dimensions you would need to meet, for mattresses and such.... Most tables are about 30 inches high.... and most restaurant chairs and booths are about 19" from floor to the seat.... If you are building 'to order'... that is, you have a customer order you are filling... it would be a good idea to build it to fit their size....lol, I have a cousin who is about 5'6"... and I'm about 6'3"...obviously, what will be comfortable for one of us, will not fit the other, lol... I love to work with wood, and I wish you many happy days in your shop. =D
