ABSTRACT:
Kits for building log structures, and methods for producing such kits. A kit for building a structure having a plurality of log walls each including multiple layers. The kit comprises a combination of logs which when assembled form the structure. Logs of multiple layers are marked for long groove cuts and for final corner notch cuts. These marked logs substantially retain the natural contour of the tree boles from which they came. In other embodiments, final corner notches have been cut in logs of multiple layers and long groove cuts are marked but uncut. In still other embodiments, long grooves have been cut in logs of multiple layers and final corner cuts are marked but uncut. Certain embodiments provide kits wherein logs of multiple layers each have cut therein at least one final corner notch or long groove, with the remaining cut(s) marked but uncut.
