ABSTRACT:
An improved log (10) for interlocking with other logs (10) for the construction of log structures, and an associated fabricating process. The log (10) comprises an elongated body (12) having first and second opposite end portions (14 and 16), a top portion (18) and a bottom portion (20). At least one downwardly oriented saddle notch (34) is provided in the bottom portion (20) of the body (12) for closely receiving the top portion (18) of another log (10). Each saddle notch (34) defines an interior surface (40) carrying at least one tongue (42), and above each saddle notch (34) at least one groove (44) is provided in the top portion (18) of the body (12) for closely receiving the tongue (42) of another log (10) such that a plurality of logs (10) can interlock to form strong, well insulated corner joints. The associated process for fabricating the log (10) generally comprises the steps of cutting at least one such saddle notch in the body (12) of the log (10) and cutting at least one groove (44) in the body (12) above the saddle notch (34).
