Default Exposed Wiring problem in log wall construction

A friend has a room with 2 interior log walls. A wiring cable has been
installed in the space between 2 of the logs, to join switches at each
corner of the room, to provide 3-way switching. The wiring is installed in
a metallic conduit device with a white cover that is about 1" wide. Looks
like hell.

I gather the wire must be protected as it is low in the room (about 15
inches off the floor) to meet the electrical code. It would have been nice
to simply tuck a cable with a dark cover in the narrow space between the
logs and staple it in place. Then maybe some form of wood moulding could
cover the wire, either a flat board (with back cut sides to fir into the
logs) or perhaps a half-round moulding.

Anyone done some wiring in a log wall and have some suggestions on how this
could be tidied up and made less noticeable, but be adequately protected
and meet code requirements?

Brian
