Custom Wood Chinking

is a lost art form where our highly-skilled craftsmen hand cut and hand shape strips of log to perfectly fit into the space between the main logs.

Handcrafted Custom Wood Chinking

In the early 1900's Wood Chinking was a popular way to add character and value to log homes.

But over time, sythetic chinking became the preferred choice, because of its insulating ability and elasticity.

Eventually, Wood Chinking became a lost art.

With our system, you can have the best of both worlds: A well-insulated log home AND the rustic charm of wood chinking.

Reinventing a lost Art

The Custom Handcrafted Wood Chinking Process:

  • The Wood Chinking material is prepared several weeks in advance.
  • Log poles are hand-peeled and cut in half, then into quarters.
  • The wood is stacked and allowed to dry to reduce shrinking later.
  • At the job site, the pieces of wood are scribed to the conture of the logs and carefully cut with a bandsaw.
  • Acrylic Chinking is applied between the logs for an airtight seal.
  • The Wood Chinking is installed over the acrylic.

Steve and I really appreciate the beautiful job of staining and chinking. We can see that you are very meticulous in your work. The inside seams are very smooth and attractive. All the employees were very industrious and polite. We liked the fact that you kept the work area as clean as possible. You were very responsive and able to fit us into your schedule. Thank you for a great job!

Francis P - Wilson WY

We can't say enough about Mike. We faced many challenges during our construction and we could always count on Mike. He was always there to answer any questions, and even made special trips to our home on his own time to help explain anything we were unsure about. His quality of work was above and beyond what was expected. In short, we highly recommend Mike and Matt for your log home needs. They are a valuable asset to any company and always care about the company and their reputation of their job and quality of work. They will bring with them valuable 'customer service' to the construction industry

R. Arndt - Colter Bay Village WY

Matt and his team were dependable and responsive, which means a lot to us after having so many other contractors either not show up or want to put off our work for months and months. Their work was excellent, and we're very happy with the final result.
