Log styles

It has been awhile since I have posted anything here. Things have been busy with log home plans and getting spring starts ready. The end of '11 started getting busy and things have been wild ever since. One thing to bring up in comparing logs or half logs is the peel pattern. Some log home companies run their logs through a machine to peel it. That results in a repetitive machine peeled look that loses the rustic appeal pretty fast. A company that supplies log homes in Wisconsin and beyond is Stevens Point Log Homes. They have one of the best looking logs in the milled log market available. They control the heights of their log but the face of it is randomly peeled. This is the only way to get a random, draw knifed look to a log. Go to their website and take a look at their product. They have builder support as well which is great to see.
