What is a Handcrafted Log?
Common characteristics of handcrafted logs
by: Log Home Living editorial staff

Handcrafted Logs

  • Some bark is left on the log for color variation.

  • Logs are irregularly shaped and vary in size.

  • Each log is cut to conform to the one beneath it.
  • To add character, corner lengths often are not uniform.
  • Sealant or chinking adheres the logs to each other and seals gaps against weather.
