Vermont Log Homes Structures
This mountain retreat features full-scribed walls, a glass king-post truss, log railings, log deck posts and log framing on the dormer.
A chinked wall is paired with the compression fit round notch. The ends are blunt cut and sanded smooth.
A King-post truss adds an exciting visual element. This one features full-scribe joinery.
Each log is hand-scribed to fit the contours of all adjoining logs.
We drawknife each log by hand to remove the cambium layer, creating a smooth, blonde log.
A full-scribed wall is paired with the compression fit housed round notch. The logs ends feature Swedish cope.

Our craftsmen specialize in the Scandinavian full-scribe round-notch wall system. This is a shrink-to-fit system which incorporates factors such as log size, moisture content, log mass compression and climate variations into the design.
We offer features that few other companies do! Over-scribing of the lateral walls and use of the compression fit round notches creates an air-tight, shrink-to-fit home. We offer impressive white pine logs with diameters up to 30" and lengths of up to 70' long!
All of our homes include the following in our price:
- Window and door bevels cut and sanded
- Drilling for electrical wires and locations of electrical boxes cut and hewn
- Partition slots cut for interior walls
- Insulation of log walls
- Trucking and Reassembly of house
Additional options include:

Each home we build is custom tailored to the wishes of our clients. As every home is individually designed, we do not have a fixed price scale. However, there are many factors which influence the cost of your log shell:
- Height and number of logs
- Number of corners and notches
- Log diameter and length of walls
- Wall style (chinked or full-scribed)
- Complexity of roof and wall systems
- Number of door and window openings
