Handcrafted Full Log Homes

The line of handcrafted log homes offered by Timber Wolf Handcrafted Log Homes consists of both full scribed and chink style construction. Both styles consist of full length (no butt joints), hand peeled logs that are hand selected for size and quality right from the forest.

Full log homes are preassembled at Timber Wolf Handcrafted construction yard where all the scribing and notching is done. This facilitates an efficient reassembly once we arrive at your site.

Once your log shell is assembled, the building process should continue to flow smoothly due to our high level of preparation for your sub-trade professionals.

Full Scribe

This type of log construction requires the most skill and is also the most labor-intensive method of log building. To produce a full scribed home we scribe and hand cut each log to match the contours of the log below. A double row of rubber gasket, along with a strip of wool insulation is hidden inside the log joinery to create a seamless, weather tight fit.

Timber Wolf Handcrafted Log Homes' scribing and notching techniques are designed to work with the characteristics of fresh, unseasoned logs to produce the highest level of log joinery possible.

Chink Style

Chink style construction is produced by notching only the corner intersections of each log. The horizontal joints of the logs are sealed with a synthetic “chinking” material to create a weatherproof structure.

Timber Wolf Handcrafted Log Homes offers the option of kiln drying logs for chink style homes to reduce the amount of log shrinkage as well as the possibility of chinking failure that can be associated with using fresh logs.
