Log Construction

Deerwood log homes are created using only standing dead trees that are hand peeled and hand scribed by our craftsman and fit to perfection. The log shell is first constructed in our log yard, then disassembled, moved on-site and re-erected by our own crews.

Swedish Cope Logs

Using natural tree-shaped logs, Swedish Coped logs are hand-scribed together with saddle notched corners offering a tight fit between logs and protection against the elements.

Hand Hewn Dovetail

Logs are milled flat on the exposed sides and secured together with dovetail corners to ensure a tight fit. The joints between each log are sealed with chinking. The squared faces are hand-hewn using a broad ax for a rustic look.

Chink Style

Naturally tree-shaped, hand-peeled logs with saddle notched corners and chinking placed between each log.
