For homeowners that desire the look of log on the outside, but want drywall on the inside of the home, log siding is a viable option. Some mills are able to provide siding with ‘full log’ corners, also referred to as ‘false log corners’. This can be a good option, but the weather can be very hard on exposed butt and pass log corners.
Log siding is also used many times to finish the ends of a log home and the dormers. The solid logs go up to the top of the wall and then the gable ends
of the home are framed and then finished with a true match log siding.
