Log Home and Rustic Siding
Walls made with our log siding look like hand-crafted log homes because we make our log siding by utilizing an un-milled round side of a sawlog. This contrasts with most producers, who simply shape a curved surface into one side of a regular 2x8 or 2x6 by running it through a planer.
Because the visible side of our log siding has never been through a saw or a planer, it has the slight variations in thickness and contour that a hand-crafted log wall has. We pull the bark off the round part of the log siding using hand tools to preserve the authentic look of real logs.
​


We recommend log siding which is 8" high, and we can supply it in lengths up to 16'. It's up to 3.5" thick at the center. The price for 8"-high log siding is $3.18 per linear foot. That equals $4.75 a square foot. We can give you advice on how to install the log siding and how to handle windows, doors, and corners.
​
We create our Swiss Batten siding by placing wide planks vertically, then covering the seams between the planks with smaller, half-inch thick, un-edged boards. Note the hand-peeled window and door trim, and the heavy timbers on the roof. These are also available from Aker Woods Company.
