Description

Specialties

Logs End Inc. is a wood flooring company with a difference. Instead of only cutting down new-​growth trees, we focus on retrieving «lost» timber from the heyday of 19th-​century Ottawa Valley logging operations. Many of our logs are recovered through diving operations on the Ottawa River, its tributaries and small lakes.

Based out of Ottawa, Logs End is Canadian owned and operated, and is the country’s leading supplier of historic old growth flooring, which we proudly distribute around the world. At Logs End, we promise that our products will bring exceptional beauty and elegance to any wood flooring project.

History

Established in 1997.

In 1997, Logs End entered the picture. With the use of historical logging maps and precise underwater sonar equipment, we began locating large collections of lost timbers.

Once they are located, our scuba team ropes each log individually, raises it carefully, and extracts it from the river — continuing a journey that may have begun over 200 years ago.
