Log Systems

Every Wilderness log is precision-sawn to an exact specification to ensure a tight fit and proper log alignment. This precision fit, combined with our full or insulated log wall assembly systems, ensures against air and moisture infiltration. Corner construction helps prevent separation and air infiltration in full log homes. In insulated log homes, corner construction is less a structural consideration than an aesthetic one. Certain log shapes and corners are “married.” For example, a round log and a square log have a certain style of meeting at the corner, dictating certain corner styles that are most efficient and practical. The following are available profile options and corner styles, and our price list details the full list of sizes available with each profile.

	FULL LOG - SWEDISH COPE WITH SADDLE NOTCH CORNERS Swedish Cope round logs give this profile option a precision-cut appearance. A saddle notch corner features logs that are a half level apart, thus overlapping rather than butting into one another at the corners.		FULL LOG - D-LOG WITH SADDLE NOTCH CORNERS This profile features a flat interior and round exterior, giving it its distinctive shape.
	FULL LOG - TRADITIONAL FULL LOG WITH BUTT AND PASS CORNERS This is the classic full round log, cut flat on top and bottom for easy stacking. They created a traditional, Early American log home look. Corners feature a butt and pass intersection.		FULL LOG - FULL ROUND WITH SADDLE NOTCH CORNERS Full Round with Saddlenotch corners features logs that are overlapping rather than butting into one another at the corner intersections.
	HALF LOG - RUSTIC ROUND WITH BUTT AND PASS CORNERS InSul-R features logs that are cut flat and surround a wall of insulation. Indistinguishable from full log facade and combined with butt and pass corners, it creates a truly authentic look harking back to old-time log construction.		HALF LOG - RUSTIC ROUND WITH VERTICAL CORNERS This option offers a contemporary look and features a square or round vertical log at the corners. It is frequently used on dormers or uniquely angled corners.
	HALF LOG - RUSTIC ROUND WITH SADDLE NOTCH CORNERS The saddle notch method features logs that are a half-level apart, thus overlapping rather than butting into one another at the corner intersections. Combined with our InSul-R log system, it’s beautiful and smart.		HALF LOG - FULL ROUND WITH BUTT AND PASS CORNERS Full Round with butt and pass corners features logs that are cut flat and surround a wall of insulation. Corners pass over each other creating a traditional log home look. Instead of flat tops and bottoms the corners are full round.
	ROUGH-SAWN WITH DOVETAIL CORNERS Rough-sawn 4 x 10 logs are joined by dovetail corners and chinking to create the authentic look of Early American log homes.		HALF LOG - SWEDISH COPE WITH SADDLE NOTCH CORNERS This exciting option pairs Swedish Cope round logs with overlapping saddle notch corners for a look all its own.
	NEW FRONTIER WITH VERTICAL CORNERS Rustic, yet rugged elegant, this profile is highlighted by 2 x 8 rough-sawn logs and square vertical log corners. Adding yet another application to the versatility of our InSul-R log system		SHIPLAP Siding Contemporary yet rustic 2 x 8 thick shiplap siding gives a contemporary look yet offers rustic corners, windows, and door trim.
