Okay finally found what I'm looking for. Have an unfinished basement and want it to look like basspro/cabelas. After searching the net, I discovered what it is I'm after-log cabin siding.
Now-does anybody have a line on a supplier in Missouri? Preferrably the Springfield area? thankee |

My brother works at Lowes and they could special order it. Some dude ordered a bunch and then changed his mind and didn't pick it up. Good new was my brother got it discounted and then let me have it for my new house. I just used a clear coat on them. You can see I used a 1x1" piece in the corners rather than try to get the right 45 deg angle on every board. Sorry, I don't have pics of the room without my girls in them.
Southerlands in Joplin also sells the stuff. Is there a Southerlands in Springfield? |

Good lookin pic. There is a Southerlands in Springfield now.
Couple of questions for you- 1) How does the material come to you? I mean-in long lengths of this stuff or what? It's not already tacked up on some sort of panel and you just nail the panel to the wall does it? 2) If it does come in actual wood "logs" do you first have to put up drywall and then nail this stuff to the drywall or can you nail it directly to the studs? My basement is already framed out. I'm doing 2 rooms out of several down there with this stuff. I plan to go 4 foot high with it and then just drywall the top part of the wall. |
| The peices I had looked like they started as 2x8s and then had one side shaped to have the rounded face. So the other side against the wall is flat. There is a tounge on the top side of the boards that you put the screws or nails through. The next "log" that you put above it has a groove that covers the nailed tounge of the previous "log". Mine came in boards of 12ft lengths. I put it up over sheet rock. I suppose you don't have to, but its not air tight and seems like that would be detrimental insulation wise. Oh and I gues the peices in the corner were split, sanded and finished 2s4s, so the were 1 3/4" not 1x1 like I said in my previous post. They really were easy to do though, and you can stain and finish it just like any other piece of pine. |
