Also called: Log Builder, Log Home Craftsman
Builds log cabins and log homes, scribing and notching each log by hand or with a crane to fit tightly.
You use a chainsaw and scribe to cut each log so it nests perfectly on the one below, then a crane sets it in place. Some crews build the whole home in a yard, number every log, and rebuild it on the customer's land.
