Where the log walls intersect is called a notch. The technique of hand crafting and cutting the interlocking corner notches is crucial to how the finished log home will look and perform. The precise crafting of this notch is essential to maintaining a tight seal and preventing gaps from occurring. At The Log Connection, our craftsmen have years of experience crafting multiple styles of corner notches. The most common is the Scandinavian Saddle Notch.

The log end tail system or treatment creates a distinctive look and unique feel to any log structure. While they can be cut to nearly any shape you desire, the most common tail styles include straight, curved, French, curved top, and staggered. Regardless of the selected tail system, all log ends are sanded smooth as we do with all visible surfaces cut with a chain saw.
