Types of Wood for Log Cabins
Common Wood Cuts for Cabin Construction
Different cuts affect not only the appearance of your cabin, but also how
the logs fit, settle, and insulate. Here are the most common:

D-Log Cut
Flat on the inside, rounded on the outside — perfect for that traditional log cabin look with modern wall alignment inside.

Chink Log
Flat on all sides with visible chinking (sealant) between logs. Classic Appalachian feel, great insulation.

Full Round Logs
Logs are left fully rounded — ideal for rustic, traditional aesthetics and excellent natural water shedding.

V-Log Cut
With a distinctive “V” groove between logs — offers the rustic charm of traditional log cabins with a clean, finished look inside.
