Western Red Cedar, H-Notch Corners
This Western Red Cedar Home just outside of Missoula, Montana features our 8x8 Logs and H-Notched corners.
Butt and Pass Corners, where every other log extends past the house, and finished corners that have a posted look are relatively easy to build and are typically constructed in the field. However, H-Notch corners, which are similar to the interlocking corners used with round logs, require more advanced carpentry skills and equipment, and are considerably more difficult to build on site. The same holds true for the Dovetail Corners which are often chosen to give that old-fashioned Lincoln Log look to cabins built with square logs. As a result we’ve received many requests over the years to factory cut these more complex notches.

Glu-Lam-Log employee notching corners for traditional milled logs.
Ray Shafer, one of our most experienced technicians, works on completing the H-Notched log ends for an outgoing order of traditional milled logs.
If your home requires H-Notch or Dovetail Corners, we now have the capability to notch them at our facilities. Many builders tell us that it’s less expensive and the finished corners are more precise than those cut in the field. If you send us a set of your plan elevations we’ll work with you to determine how many logs to notch and will actually have someone from the plant check signals with you just before we’re ready to process your order.
