Construction Methods of Log Houses

• Scandinavian Full-Scribe (also called ‘chinkless’ method) where logs are scribed, custom fitted to one another, and notched where they overlap at the corners
• Flat-on-flat (logs are flattened on top and bottom and stacked)
• Milled log homes often are constructed with a variation of ‘flat-on-flat’
• Butt-and-Pass where unscribed logs butt up against each other at the corners without notching
• Half-Log where the structure is built with conventional (non-log) techniques. Half-log siding is applied to the exterior to replicate the look of full-log construction.
