Dovetail Log Cabin - Why the Gaps?

By far the most common question I am asked is "Why the gaps between the logs?" Many people seem curious about this style. Some seem to enjoy the style, others not as much. Some people have never seen this style of construction and are just curious about it.

In this video, I go through my reasons and delve into the history of cabins and why gaps are actually a common historical way of cabin construction in many places in the world.

I have compiled pictures from other cabins I have seen over the years as well.

I hope this video is helpful and helps explain the style of construction I am doing.
