Log Cabin Washington State

 

At Log Cabins Canada, quality is our first priority. We start with only the finest building logs available. All wall logs are full length Red Cedar and are 12"-16" in diameter. All logs are then hand peeled using only a drawknife. Each log is then hand selected by our master builder for straightness and uniform diameter. We do not use bent logs or logs that have too much taper. Each log is then scribe fitted to the log below, ensuring a weather tight seal. Our log homes do not require chinking. All corners are joined using the "saddle" notch or the full Norwegian notch.
