Log House Style Mouldings

Log House mouldings emphasize the natural character of wood and the straightforward construction associated with log buildings. Simple boards, S4S stock, rough-sawn lumber, and timbers form the basis of the trim, with texture and proportion providing much of its visual interest. Details can range from smooth and neatly finished to rugged and rustic, depending on the surrounding interior.

Door and window casings, baseboards, and other trim elements work best when their scale complements the log walls and exposed timbers. Broad, uncomplicated forms provide definition around openings and transitions while allowing the wood’s grain and surface character to remain prominent. This approach suits both modest cabins and spacious log homes.
