‘Full Scribe’ refers to a method of fitting horizontal stacked logs to build a tight wall. Each log has a long groove hand cut into its underside, allowing a precise and secure placement on the log below. The corners are interlocked with notching to provide a very stable structure.
This method of construction is considered the classic way to build a log home. Full Scribe features the exposed logs stacked horizontally, to form beautiful full log walls. This technique is thousands of years old and has remained basically the same throughout time.

The technique in building a “Full Scribe” log home is also known as the traditional ‘Scandinavian Full Scribe Method’ due to it’s origin. In using a specific notched corner system, either a Saddle Notch or Round Notch, the lateral part of the logs are scribed together. “Scribing”, is the method where the craftsman traces the shape of one log onto the other for a perfect fit!
