When is a log home not a log home?
When is a log not a log?
Well, to answer that question, lets us first define what a log is and is not.
As simply as possible – A log is a length of natural wood material, in part or in whole, of a felled tree of a diameter greater than that of a stick. Although its bark and branches may have been removed it is yet unaltered from its natural form and profile by a milling process thereby retaining its usually uneven surface and characteristics of the original tree that commonly identify it as a log.
A log may be of varied ultimate length and realistically no less than 18″ in length. Logs are commonly as short as 2′ and can be greater than 50′ in length. This may seem like stating the obvious to most of us but in the context of this discussion it is appropriate to lay the groundwork.
So when is a log not a log?
