After I had built my garage the chink style, I wanted to experiment with other log styles a bit and so, I started to build a log doghouse for Casey, my German Shepard dog.
I tried the butt style with this one. I milled the logs to 4 inches and began stacking them until it reached a height suitable for the dog to enter and exit without hitting it's head or causing injury.... she loves it as it is virtually windproof and waterproof!!! I used 6 inch screws to secure the logs to each other and insulated each flats as it went up.
It went up real fast and was easy to produce using a small mill system to square the logs. The roof was made of 2x4 material and plywood.
The next one I did was for the mother-in-law. I did it chinkless style! A little more slow to do but shows off the skill of the cuts, produced by the scribbers and the chainsaw.
