Looking forward to the details of the chinking process, I know what it is but not how it's done.
Reclaimed cabin build

I know pretty much how it's done but I won't be doing it. I will still post pics though if I am there during the process.

I know how it's done on a full log home, but not on an older hand hewn log cabin.
I would imagine the backer rod or grip strip would have to be pretty wide.
What kind of chinking material were you thinking of using?
Is this going to be a hunting camp?
Great progress on it.

I'm pretty sure it's not going to be mut and straw as it was probably originally done, builder is still tossing arround a few options. The inconsistancy of openings and such really make it tough. We are open to ideal ideas. Yes it is a hunting camp on 500 acres of prime hilly and wooded property.
Yea that would add the the authenticity of an older log cabin, but with today's log home materials I'd op for a more traditional type of chinking.
Permachink makes a great product. It's expensive, but it will last a long time.
With the proper tools, I'm sure it wouldnt be hard to do.
Foam backer is a must. Good luck with the build, can't wait to see more.

The benches are cherry.
Last but not least, the generator house.

In the near future we will be building an 18'x18' Kitchen/bath-house ( another reclaimed log structure).

Nice!!!! That's awesome man. I'm glad for you. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing this build.
Nice benches to.
What did you use for chinking?
The stone on the foundation looks really cool. Is that real stone or cultured?
