Natural Bent Building Systems ~ Meeting Nature Halfway

 
My name is Charles Smith. I've been building log furniture and installing log home features for about twenty-five years. I can custom build almost anything out of wood that doesn't defy the laws of physics. I specialize in incorporating materials provided by a client that have significance to her/him, into projects.

The eventual thrust of naturalbentbuilding systems is to soon produce a woodworking show devoted to the log home esthetic from an open air studio at the location from which the photo used as the header of this page was taken. The philosophy of the show is to explore through log art how one can strike the balance with nature at a location nearer nature.  Initially it will probably be broadcast on this website and perhaps posted to Youtube.

The intended long term trajectory of the naturalbentbuilding systems is to segue such a television show to a wider focus on the concept of biomimicry. Biomimicry is a school of engineering that draws inspiration to solve human engineering problems from solutions that nature has engineered over hundreds of millions of years.
