Butt-and-Pass

We recommend this log corner section style to any customers who want an old-fashioned exterior look for their log home. In the butt-and-pass, every other log on each wall extends several inches beyond the corner angle, for an effect that looks like stair steps, a ladder, or even interlaced fingers. The butt-and-pass is simple to build and it yields a good, tight fit, which we reinforce with a wooden dowel at every joint. We also remove from the protruding log sections any tongues from tongue-and-groove construction, to prevent moisture from collecting.
