Corner Systems Compared
Although corner systems are based on owner’s desire aesthetically, sometimes the profile of the log dictates the corner connection.
 

	Dovetail Corner, "D" Style Profile The 12” Appalachian style log lends itself to the dovetail corner system. However, the dovetail corner can be utilized for the “D” profile as well. Our dovetail is a hand-crafted full dovetail to cause the corner to be structural in that when the logs are stacked the corner cannot shift. Click on the thumbnails below to view larger images:
