ABSTRACT:
An improved log (10) for interlocking with similar logs in the construction of a log structure and associated corner joint construction. The improved log (10) comprises an elongated body (14) defining an upper portion (16) and a lower portion (18), and first and second exterior surfaces (20 and 22). The log (10) has at least a first end portion (24) for interlocking with similar logs to form a corner joint, the first end portion (24) being provided with an upper notch (28) and a lower notch (30). The upper notch (28) defines at least a first engaging surface (32) for engaging a similar log (10), and a second vertically oriented engaging surface (34) provided with a vertically disposed first tenon. The lower notch (30) defines at least a third engaging surface (38) for engaging the first engaging surface (32) of a smilar log (10), and a vertically oriented fourth engaging surface (40) provided with a vertically disposed second tenon (42). The first end portion (24) is also provided with a vertically disposed mortise (44) for receiving the first and second tenons (36 and 42) of other similar logs (10) to allow the logs to be interlocked to form a corner joint. The corner joint construction of the present invention also contemplates the interposing of interfacing beams (12) between the logs (10), the beams (12) having at least one outboard end (50) provided with a tenon (52) for being received in the mortise of the intersecting log (10) of an adjoining wall.
