Premium Douglas Fir |
Premium Douglas Fir is considered perhaps the most sought after building log for log home construction due to its exceptional resistance to weather and decay. All of the Douglas Fir logs used in this home come from carefully managed plantations, not from clear-cut wild forests. |
|
Big Logs |
Average 14" diameter (tips are 11" and larger and butts are approximately 17"). |
|
Log Appearance
|
All logs feature their natural shapes and natural taper. Logs are smooth, clean, with no sun bleaching and no graying. In order to preserve the natural appearance of the logs, logs are neatly and smoothly finished by hand with a drawknife and knots are sanded smooth. |
| Corner Notch Style | All corners feature saddle notches. This is a hand-scribed, hand-cut, compression-fit notch that has scarfs. Built by craftsmen. The saddle notch provides strength, great appearance and ensures a tight fit over time. |
|
Log End Style |
Our signature log end style is the staggered, chisel cut, butt-tip style - keeping with the timeless style of the great lodges and camps of the American West. |
| Log Roof System | Log Ridge Pole, Flattened to 12:12 roof pitch; Two Log Purlins, each flattened to 12:12 roof pitch; Log Entry Ridge and Plate Logs for covered entry roof; Three Log Posts from Loft Log Beam to the ridge log and to both purlins. All mortise and tenon joinery pre-cut and ready to assemble. |
|
Gaskets |
Each long groove and corner notch in this shell has state of the art EPDM rubber gaskets pre-installed by us. The gaskets go on the inside and outside edges of all grooves and inside all corner notches. |
|
Building Standards |
Natural Log Homes is a "Pledge Member" of the International Log Builder's Association (ILBA) log home certified builder program. This ensures that this shell meets or exceeds the ILBA's stringent quality standards. |
| Electrical Holes | Vertical electrical holes inside the log walls are pre-drilled by us prior to shipment. |
|
Windows & Doors |
All window and door openings are cut and sanded, and keyways (splines) pre-cut, ready for windows and doors to be installed. See floor plan for door and window locations. |
