Charlie, that cabin uses round logs and whoever made it was too lazy to notch the ends, so you're right they look like toothpicks. What I want to do is to replicate hand-hewn logs with dovetail notches on the ends. If I did, the only way I can stack the logs would be one course at a time. I though that I could strip balsa wood into rough uneven logs. I downloaded a few pictures of what I would like to do, but I might have a copyright issue so I'm passing on posting them. Most cabins are small, 20' x 30' is common so I'm looking at around 1.5" x 2.5".There are a couple of log cabins up in Prescott, there is also a train show up there this weekend so I can take a few shots and measurements if I decide to go up there. Uhh, there is also a gun store that I go to frequently so for some reason, Prescott is calling
