At Honest Abe Log Homes, we are proud of the log systems we have developed. Years of manufacturing experience have given us the "know how" that has led to the superior products we offer today. Attention to the little things like proper joinery, quality control, corner notches, and tight sealing methods have made our time-tested systems superior to any in the industry. All of our logs are kiln dried for stability, every log is graded and inspected to our high standards, and each log is stamped with our seal of approval before it goes into someone’s home.

Genesis Log The Genesis log is a big 6"x12" log that gives you that Appalachian feel but with no interior chinking. The exterior surface of the log is rough textured and has a groove at one edge that can be finished with chinking, or without it as desired. The interior surface is smooth and enhances the massive feeling so characteristic in this log style. Dovetail corners compliment the look and ensure a tight fit. The logs are locked together with a large single tongue and groove, and a foam gasket and wood-binding sealer are applied between each course before fastening with large lag screws.

Milled-D Log Our 8"x8" Milled-D log is planed smooth on all sides for a beautiful appearance. This log system also features an inserted corner notch and a milled drip edge. These time-tested methods of joinery ensure an air-tight seal that keeps the outside elements outside. The logs are locked together with a large single tongue and groove, and a foam gasket and wood-binding sealer are applied between each course before fastening with lag screws.

Original Chinked Log Nothing offers the true feeling of rustic log home living better than our Original chinked log system. This 6"x10" log features a rough-textured exterior surface, a smooth interior surface, and the traditional look of chinked log joint. This log system is constructed with a solid spline between each log course, and chinking material is applied on both the interior and exterior sides of the wall. Dovetail corners compliment the look and ensure a tight fit. This log may also be hand hewn for the authentic look of a "real" log cabin. The logs are sealed with a large single tongue and groove and fastened together with lag screws.

Interlocking Round Log We are so proud of the corner design in this log system, we included it in the name. Better than a traditional saddle notch, the interlocking corners in the 8"x8" round log offer a design unsurpassed in strength and "sealability." The logs are locked together with a large single tongue and groove, and a foam gasket and wood-binding sealer are applied between each course before the logs are fastened together with lag screws. The full round log is planed smooth on all sides, giving that true "western" feel to any design.

Timber Frame System Post and beam timbers dressed smooth and exposed inside. Mortise and tenon joinery, pinned with wood pegs. 4'x8' "sandwich" wall panel (sheetrock inside, EPS insulation in the middle and exterior sheathing). Exterior Western Red Cedar siding.
