MILLED LOGS
"Milled log" is the term for logs
that are cut by a machine to a uniform diameter. Most of
the trees used to
make a Yellowstone Log Home are
cut when they are dead, standing, and dry. When a log is
dry, there is a much lower chance of unexpected
cracking, and warping. Air dried log homes have less
settling than
that
of a kiln dried log home.
Our most common milled log is the Swedish cope design
with saddle notched corners. We also offer D-logs.
Milled beams are available for roof purlins, trusses,
porch posts, etc. in diameters up to 40" and lengths to
42' long. |

HALF LOG SIDING
Half logs are, in essence, a true
Swedish coped log cut in half, lengthwise. Half logs
provide the exact look of true full log homes, and can
be used both internally and externally. Half logs simply
attach to the 2x framing of a stick frame wall.
Some of our clients prefer the external look of a log
home, but do not want the log look on the interior
walls. With Half logs, this is possible! Half log siding
can also be installed over an existing stick framed home
to give the home a log home look. |

HANDCRAFTED LOGS
Each handcrafted log is individually
hand selected, notched, and hand hewed for an exact fit.
When every unique log is in place, the structure is
inspected for it's workmanship, and aesthetic value.
Once satisfied, the crew marks and disassembles the home
for shipping to your building site.
We use dead standing timbers that are cured and well
seasoned for minimal shrinkage, and movement. We also
use our industry leading fastening system, using heavy
duty lag bolts to prevent excessive settlement problems.
We offer both full scribe and chink style in simple to
elaborate designs, for both residential and commercial
settings. |
