About Us

---

 Repair and restoration knowledge is not enough without experience. From woodworking to general construction, I have refined the skills needed for log house repairs and improvements. 

My name is Ethan Dodge and I am born and raised in the Shuswap. My company, Tarkka log works, is locally owned and operated in Tappen British Columbia. Tarkka, meaning precision in Finnish, is paying homage to my family who settled in Tappen from Finland. My Finnish ancestors were building log homes in the 1900s throughout Tappen and White lake upon settling. My whole life I have loved wood working , at the age of 16 I started working in a log home building yard as an apprentice with a German Master Craftsman log home builder with 40 years of experience.  I am also certified as a Power Engineer but my passion is wood working and  I am excited to offer my services locally and around BC.

We provide a full consultation to explain available options so that you can choose the service that’s right for your home. We strive  to meet your project's needs and save you the time!
