A full scribe log home is a type of log house where the logs fit tightly together without gaps. Each log is carefully shaped and grooved to sit perfectly on the one below it, creating strong, weather-resistant walls.
How It’s Built
Builders use a precise cutting method to shape each log so it fits snugly into place. Instead of using chinking (the filler seen in other log homes), full scribe homes rely on a tight fit to keep out wind and moisture. This method has been used for centuries and creates long-lasting homes.
Why Choose a Full Scribe Log Home?
✔ Great Insulation – Logs fit tightly together, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer.
✔ Beautiful Rustic Look – Full scribe homes have a natural, handcrafted charm that makes them feel cozy and inviting.
✔ Strong & Durable – Thick logs make the house sturdy and able to withstand harsh weather.
✔ Less Maintenance – Because the logs fit so well, there’s less need for repairs and upkeep.
