Log cabin producers, particularly those that belong in the Log Homes Council, have agreed to produce a manual for construction, to follow a strict and uniform code of ethics and a unified and certified program for log grading.

The origins of log cabins are uncertain, though it is believed that the first log cabins were constructed in northern Europe in the Bronze Age.

Log cabins reached their peak of complexity and elaboration in the Adirondack style cabins of the mid 18th century.

Who would forget that Abraham Lincoln, even Andrew Jackson, was born in a log cabin.

It is believed that log cabins began to be constructed initially in the northern part of Europe, around 3500 BC.

Log cabins are renowned for their energy efficiency as timber is an excellent insulator - a 2.5cm log has a better thermal resistance than an 11.4cm brick, because the thousands of tiny air pockets trapped in every square inch of the wood's structure slow the transfer of heat though the log.

One of the enduring symbols of American history is the log cabin.

It is interesting to note that currently, there are over 500,000 log homes in the U.S. This count accounts for 7% of the whole custom home building market in the U.S.

The majority of the log cabins that were constructed in the 18th century in the United States are no longer around as many fell into disrepair.

Among log houses already built, only 10% are those built with individually handcrafted logs with the use of handheld tools.
