Log Styles


The Genesis log style is composed of 6" x 12" kiln-dried logs that are flat on both the inside and outside. The Genesis style uses a dovetail notch corner style. Although this style uses a foam gasket between the logs to create an air-tight seal, it also includes space for chinking (the white sealer between the logs) that adds a dramatic visual element to your home. The inside surface is planed to a smooth surface, but the outside is rustic to imitate the cabin style of previous centuries.

The Milled "D" log style, illustrated on the left and right, is composed of 8" x 8" kiln-dried logs that are flat on the inside and rounded on the outside. The Milled "D" style uses a large, single tongue and groove corner style. As with the Genesis style, the Milled "D" uses a foam gasket between the logs to create an air-tight seal. Both the inside and the outside are dressed to a smooth surface, adding a touch of elegance to a rustic design.

The Original Chinked log style is composed of 6" x 10" kiln-dried logs that are flat on both the inside and outside. The Original Chinked style, like the Genesis style, uses a dovetail notch corner style. Using tongue and groove stacking, rigid insulation is placed on the inside and outside of the tongue of the log, followed by a flexible and impenetrable chinking compound. Like the Genesis style, the inside surface is planed to a smooth surface, but the outside is rustic.

The Interlocking Round log style is composed of 8" x 8" kiln-dried logs that are rounded on both the inside and outside. The Interlock Round style, of course, uses an interlocking corner style. Like the Genesis and Milled "D" style, this style uses a foam gasket between the logs to create an air-tight seal. Like the Milled "D" style, both the inside and the outside are dressed to a smooth surface.

If you want a cedar siding finish to your new home, Woods Hill Log Homes also offers the Timber Frame System, that is composed of post and beam timbers covered with Western Red Cedar siding. This style includes 4' x 8' "sandwich" wall panels. These panels have sheetrock inside, EPS insulation in the middle, and exterior sheathing.
