What is chinking?




This chinking stuff makes for a rustic look but more important, it was the stuff that kept the wild animals and Indians out of the poineer's log homes...that is, in days gone by. This mortar provides the protection and security between the logs to give the home strength and insulation. I choose to use the authentic materials with antique beams to provide the appearance of an aged structure.

The chinking is used on the outer courtyard walls and the inner walls of the Master Bedroom and Bill's Study.
