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. The precise crafting of this groove is essential to maintaining a tight seal and preventing gaps occurring. At The Log Connection, our craftsmen have years of experience crafting multiple styles of corner notches.
 
  
Scandinavian
The Scandinavian Saddle Notch is our most popular style of log home corner notch, typically combined with the over-scribe technique and large diameter round logs. This corner notch system features precisely angled surfaces which achieve an excellent long term tolerance and create an extremely effective water and air infiltration barrier.
 
 
 
 
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.
