Log Home Corner Notches
|
Where log walls intersect, the technique of cutting interlocking
corner notches is crucial to how the finished log home will look and perform.
At The Log Connection, our craftsmen have years of experience crafting multiple styles of corner
notches.

Scandinavian
|
Our most popular style of log home corner notch is the Scandinavian over-scribe when built with
large diameter round logs.
This corner notch system is designed and constructed with precisely
angled surfaces to achieve an excellent long term tolerance plus an extremely effective
water and air infiltration barrier.
|
Dovetail
|
We offer many
variations of the Dovetail corner notch, which is most suited to traditional slab
side log or timber style homes, and is available in a smooth finish or textured with a traditional
adzed look.
Our craftsman enjoy the challenge and precision
workmanship required for dovetail log homes.
A full scribe, non chinked dovetail log home is extremely rare but
available when requested.
|
Piece-en-Piece
|
In special situations when a log structure is
designed without the opposing log wall passing through the intersecting log wall,
we use a “blind notch” or “Piece-en-Piece” connection.
Your entire home can be built with this system, where the log wall sections
fit into large posts and create a sturdy upright appearance.
|
Chinked
|
Historic log home construction commonly
incorporated a caulking material between the logs; this style
is referred to as a
"chinked" log home. Using today's
technology, our notch style is specialized to achieve phenomenal
sealing properties while maintaining the characteristics and
appeal of a traditional chinked style log home.
|
|
Log Tails
|
The log end tail system or treatment creates a distinctive look and unique
feel to any log structure. Cut in many forms, the tail styles
include straight, curved, French, curved top, staggered and
specialty when requested. Regardless of the selected tail
system, all log ends are sanded smooth as we do with all
visible surfaces cut with a chain saw.
