Architect & Builder

Architect Ed Shure has nearly always known that he would follow a career that allowed him to make practical, beautiful things. To that end, he studied fine art and mechanical engineering and completed a machinist certification program. Until a working visit to Scandinavia in the early 1980s revealed to him his true calling, Ed worked variously as an apprentice toolmaker in Kawasaki, Japan, a mold maker in Hong Kong, and Harley Davidson mechanic. Since founding his own company in 1984, Ed has completed over 130 structures and many designs. He is a past president of the International Log Builders Association, was an editorial advisor for Log Home Guide Magazine, and has taught, lectured and demonstrated his innovative timber and log construction techniques for the Timber Framers Guild of North America. He encourages clients to build site-specific, ecologically sound structures using renewable wood sources and reclaimed salvage materials whenever possible.
