What’s the difference between a log home and a timber frame home?
This is a good question, and one we often hear. Logs—from log siding to huge handcrafted logs to perfectly shaped milled logs—(in most cases) cover the exterior and interior walls of a log home (though drywall is always an interior option). The timber frame is a beautiful wooden truss that is shown off inside(typically, though it could greet you in an archway); it’s functional beauty that supports the home—and makes for a terrific conversation piece in your great room. In theory, you could combine these elements and have both a log and timber frame home; the possibilities, styles, and designs are endless in these custom homes.
