Traditional hand-scribed 12" to 14" Round Logs shown below:

Below:  Home being scribed on yard before delivery.  All logs are grade stamped with TPI Premium Grade stamp.  Specie is Englemann Spruce, winter cut for low moisture content. Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir are available as well.

Below:  Notice all purlins are flattened to accept structural panels, built-up roof system, or conventionally framed roof on top.  Curled ends and chamfered edges are standard. 
Below:  Notice that all horizontal joints in the log walls are scribed to fit the log above and below.  The logs are grooved to block air flow.  Chinking may be used, but is not required.  This is a "full scribed" log home.
The entire home is assembled at the yard before delivery.  The parts and pieces are labeled as they are dismantled.  All chamfering is done before delivery. Each piece is sanded and buffed.
