You mean the kind of logs that have two equal parallel vertical sides, and
heights, and a locking joint between them (and a gasket), and at the
corners, possibly with rods running top to bottom?

The ultimate involves plugging the holes with the same cedar. Get
yrself a plug cutter, cut a few plugs out of some left over cedar
pieces, drill the holes, tap the plugs in, saw flush and finish. (Use
a dab of that varnish - as a glue - in the hole before the plug goes
in. ) Nice project, and really, really nice results.


I have a plug cutter and have done this on other projects. I didn't
bother with this one because a) the wood is too thin and b) I never cared
enough about it until the last minute. I don't plan to stay in this house
for many more years; the ultimate mailbox will get built once I know where
I'm going to end up. I'm hoping it's a place with acres of hardwood
forest.

Well I'm off to visit a friend whose building his log house in just such a
forest. I'm very excited because he tells me trees are mine for the
asking, and there are burls everywhere. We're mapping the place today for
a Managed Forest grant. Woohoo!
