Log Profiles & Information
We know how important it is to give our customers the exact look they’re wanting, whether modern or rustic, here's some information to help you better understand what each unique log profile has to offer your building design.
D-Log - Butt & Pass
6x8, 8x8, 8x10 or 8x12
The D log is planed smooth on all sides for a more modern appearance. This log system also features a butt-and-pass corner. These time-tested methods of joinery ensure an air-tight seal that keeps the outside elements outside. The logs are locked together with a large, single tongue and groove and a foam gasket and wood-binding sealer are applied between each course before fastening.
Dovetail D-Log
6x8, 8x8, 8x10, or 8x12
Three popular features are brought together in the 8×12 Dovetail D-Log to create a widely desired building system. This log-style combines smooth interior walls with a V-groove and a D-shaped profile on the exterior, the mass, and energy efficiency of the trusted dovetail corner system. This log-on-log system incorporates a single tongue-and-groove, specialized gasket, and a wood-binding sealer between each course.
The Old Timer
6x12, 8x8, 8x10, 8x12
The exterior surface of The Old Timer log is rough textured and has a groove at one edge that can be finished with or without chinking. The interior surface is smooth and enhances the massive feeling so characteristic in this log style. Dovetail corners complement the look and ensure a tight fit. The logs are locked together with a large single tongue and groove. A foam gasket and wood-binding sealer are applied between each course before fastening.
The Old Timer – Chinked
6x8, 8x8, 8x10, or 8x12
Nothing offers the true feeling of rustic log home living better than a chinked log system. This log features a rough-textured exterior surface, a smooth interior surface, and the traditional look of chinked log joint. This log system is constructed with a solid spline between each log course, and chinking material is applied on both the interior and exterior sides of the wall. Dovetail corners complement the look and ensure a tight fit. The logs are sealed with a large single tongue and groove and fastened together.
