NATURAL DRYING REAL LOG HOMES® log home packages are never kiln-dried. Rather they are borate treated and allowed to season in place. All logs shrink, settle, and move as they age. Kiln drying doesn’t prevent that. Our natural drying process, in combination with our Interlock™ Joinery System, allows our log homes to settle naturally, creating one of the most weather-tight log systems available.
