Handcrafted Log Homes offers you the choice between full scribed or a chink style log home. Whichever style you prefer, your home will be crafted by hand to reveal the natural character and beauty of each log. Hand-peeling the raw logs begins this process. After our carvers carefully scribe a log, they use chain saws and other hand tools to notch the entire length of the log to fit the log beneath. We use full length logs (no butt joints), and a saddle-notch is used at the corners. The full scribe gives you a tighter fit aiding in the energy efficiency of your log home. Remember, the thermal mass of solid wood enables the logs to absorb, store, and radiate heat back in the winter and cool air during the summer. A Handcrafted Log Home is not only natural beauty but also energy efficient and practical. |
