About Full-Scribe/Handcrafted Log Homes

• All logs are premium grade and air dried.
• Large diameter white and red pines are the most commonly used logs by Backwoods Log Homes.
• Logs are 14" to 20" mean diameter (as specified by the client).
• Logs are left with natural taper and no milled logs are involved in any part of the log shell.
• All logs used are full length with no butt joints.
• All logs arrive at the log yard with bark on and are peeled and shaped using hand tools only (see picture directly below).

• Logs are scribed, cut out by chainsaws and finally chiseled (see pictures directly below).

• All notches are under scribed to ensure a tight fit over time.

• Log shells are handcrafted at our log yard in Wisconsin, then disassembled and shipped to your home site where they are re-erected.

• Re-erection of the log shell at your home site will take approximately 2 to 4 days (add an additional day per 1500 square feet).
• Backwoods Log Homes will ship log shells nationwide.
