The Lodgepole pine home has six bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. Burt Prater said the log home company collects dead, standing timber from a national forest and hauls it to a clearing using mule trains. A helicopter then airlifts the logs. The bark is stripped by hand, then lies in the yard for two to three years to dry. Clay Johnston built the home in Big Canoe. "We sent him to Montana, and they sent a guy here for two weeks," Prater said.
