Log Profiles
Blue Ridge Log Cabins offer log profile options to give your log cabin a personal touch. We have a log shape that will best fit the vision of your dream home, whether traditional or modern.
“D” Shape (6” X 8”):
This log profile, the most popular in the log home industry, is rounded on the exterior and flat on the interior of your home. The rounded look of the exterior gives you the authentic look of a log cabin, while still providing practicality of the flat walls on the inside to conveniently hang pictures and shelves.

Flat Dovetail (6″ X 12″):
The interior and exterior of this log profile is flat. The large log needed for this profile and Dovetail connection offers a distinctive look for the home owner that demands something special. Your home will have a more contemporary appeal with the Flat Dovetail due to the smaller seams that give your home a clean, flawless finish. This profile is slightly more expensive than our standard, due to the large log and extra labor needed to produce it.
