About Using Our
Natural Log Siding
Aspen, Pine & Spruce

With Bark or Peeled

To See Natural Log Siding and Prices Click Here

Your cabin can have a log-cabin appearance inside or outside, with modern insulated frame construction hidden in the walls.  Our log siding is manufactured specially from pine, spruce, and aspen logs so that the natural surface, knots and appearance are preserved.  Rustic log siding can be either with bark on, or hand-peeled.

Interior uses of our natural log siding can make your home or cabin into a log cabin!  We also make matching decorative logs and beams - so let your imagination soar.

Our log siding is manufactured specially from pine, spruce, and aspen logs so that the natural surface, knots and appearance are preserved.

Logs are sawn parallel to the bark and this product is the primary one created from each log.  The goal is to create the siding wood at a thickness--under the bark--of 2.5" to 3" at the mid-point of the curve.

The edges of each piece are then sawn square to create 4", 6" or 8" roughly uniform widths.  The siding is stacked in our yard with 1" "stickers" between the layers to air dry to under 19% moisture content, which minimizes shrinking.  Like other rough-cut lumber, drying does cause shrinking across the grain, and builders should allow for this in construction.
Drying can cause from 1/4" (on 6" wide)  to 1/2" (on 8" wide) shrinkage in width. If natural log siding is applied "green" and butted together, a chink line will result.

Siding can be installed with tight cracks or 1/2" to 1" spaces, "chinker" style, either horizontally or vertically.   We recommend either caulking with silicone acrylic caulk or chinking with a variety of commercial products approximately 6 months to one year after siding installation.

Natural log siding that is hand peeled provides an enhanced appearance.  Peeling, chinking, and oil or water-based finishes are optional.  Call us for recommendations specific to your situation.
