Round Log Chink Style

Many fine examples of this style may be seen at the Adirondack Park in upper New York state.  It was a very traditional method and utilized local materials of varying species although white or red pine was the most predominant.  We use white pine for this method and the round notch for corner joinery as it is in keeping with tradition.  Nowadays, synthetic chinking is used to avoid ongoing maintenance with mortar or concrete.
