Incorporated in 1997 by Bryan Olmsted a local building contractor and the late Dr. Bruce M. Smith local dentist and entrepreneur, Southern Missouri Contractor’s Supply Co., Inc. was Genesis for the company that is now Ozark Log Home Supply, Inc. founded to supply contractors in the West Plains area an alternative to traveling to larger cities to find the specialty construction products not locally available.
With Bryan’s brother Brad as manager SMCS opened it’s doors in February 1998 in a leased building at 913 Porter Wagoner Blvd. in West Plains and serving a client base in south central Missouri and north central Arkansas.
With over 20 years experiance in designing and building log homes. And having a desire to provide the highest quality log home products to the mid-west and beyond, the SMCS staff decided to pursue and was in mid 1998, was fortunate enough to land the distributorship for Sashco Log Home Products for a five state area including Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Western Tennessee. Thus the branch division of the company, Ozark Log Home Supply was developed.
Working with a network of distribution facilities throughout the U.S. and Canada Ozark Log Home Supply now stocked a substantial inventory of the best log home building and maintenance supplies anywhere, assuring that consumers nationwide may receive timely shipments of log home products no matter where they live, most orders are shipped same day.
In 1999, Ozark Log Home Supply again decided to expand it’s offering by adding a log furniture and railing manufacturing division to it’s list of services. Clients now select from stock furniture designs or work with our staff to develop the furnishings and accents to fit their individual needs. Working with locally available red cedar and other wood species an extensive selection of rustic furnishings featuring hand and water peeled designs as well as bark on styles of stairs, railings, and furnishings could now be offered through this website and at the retail location. Our staff will be glad to work with you to outfit your log or rustic home with the furnishings and decor to fit your lifestyle.
In February of 2001, Bryan and his wife Sherry purchased Dr. Smith’s interests in the business and continued to expand on the Bruce and Bryan’s shared goal of providing needed goods and services to local and national consumers. Sadly, only a couple of months after this transition in ownership, we lost our friend, mentor and co-founder when Dr. Bruce Smith passed away. As local newspaper editor Frank L. Martin stated in his editorial following his passing “Bruce Smith rarely looked behind, for he always looked ahead ” and so, as Bruce would have wanted us to do, we continue to move forward, “looking over that next ridge” and to what lies on the other side.
In May of 2001, feeling the pinch of an expanding inventory and service offering within a leased building the decision was made to purchase a new facility located at 1621 Porter Wagoner Blvd. just up the road from the original location. After extensive renovations the business was relocated in August of 2001. Since the relocation the addition of an expanded inventory of rustic home decor items have improved our ability to serve the needs of log home owners and builders. In 2003 Sashco extended our named distribution territory to include Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Using the internet, trade shows and other advertizing media Ozark Log Home Supply had grown to the point, that at the end of 2004 the decision was made to closeout the original contractor’s supply portion of the business and concentrate on suppling only log home related products and services. With a staff that is extremely knowledgeable in regard to building and maintaining log structures and drawing from years of log home, ownership, construction experience and factory training we look forward to serving the needs of our clients for years to come.
Being a small family owned and operated company allows complete quality control in all of the furniture products we make. Sherry and Bryan, along with other family members actually create all of the furniture pieces from start to finish. Harvesting locally grown cedar and other woods in Ozark County, on a farm that has been in Sherry’s family for generations. Bryan, Sherry, with kids Travis and Brandy, brother Brad Olmsted and brother-in-law Brad Barnett take pride in creating and marketing the furniture we sell.
You can be assured that we know every inch of wood that goes into your bed or dresser, because we cut the tree that had the unusual twist or form, we washed and sanded the bark off, we picked the posts with the knots that add to the character or because of the unique color in the piece, we turned the tenons and drilled the holes for the rails or pickets, we sprayed three coats of finish on the surface, branded it with our name and wrapped it for shipping. You can also be assured that we will always strive to provide the best products and services in an honest and ethical manner and that we are always on the lookout for new products and services to provide you, our customers, because we love what we do, and we want you to love it too.
We are proud members of the Greater West Plains Area Chamber of Commerce we look forward to servicing your needs. Thanks again for shopping with us. |
