Log descriptive design
This
standard appearance is milled to a uniform profile. This style of log is
ideal for those who desire a true log home, with the rustic features of the
cabin appearance. This style utilizes the dovetail notch corner system.
These logs are grade stamped. Sizes available: 7,8,9,10,12,and
14-inch diameters.
The word “dovetail” refers to a specific method of joining logs or timbers at wall corner
intersections. Dovetail style joinery has a long history and can be seen in historical homes
wherever wood has been used as a building material. Dovetail wood joinery is also well known in furniture and cabinet
making. This type of corner detail is appealing because of its angular look and its obvious strength and functionality.
The dovetail is a timeless notch that requires little space and makes efficient use of material. The dovetail corner
notch shows the skill of the craftsman that made it and it never ceased to impress.
