Abstract
A plurality of wood logs are arranged to form a vertical stack of horizontally extending logs, each wood log including a plurality of apertures that form a plurality of vertically aligned apertures in the vertical stack when aligned. The plurality of connector assemblies connect the plurality of wood logs together in the vertical stack. Each connector assembly of the plurality of connector assemblies extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of vertically aligned apertures.

A log wall panel, comprising:
- a plurality of wood logs arranged to form a vertical stack of horizontally extending logs, an end of a log of the plurality of wood logs including a recess having a longitudinally inwardly positioned sidewall and a longitudinally outwardly positioned sidewall in a confronting relationship, each wood log including a plurality of apertures that form a plurality of vertically aligned apertures in the vertical stack when aligned;
- and
- a plurality of connector assemblies connecting the plurality of wood logs together in the vertical stack, wherein each connector assembly of the plurality of connector assemblies extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of vertically aligned apertures.
A log wall panel, comprising:
- a plurality of wood logs arranged to form a vertical stack of horizontally extending logs, each wood log including a plurality of apertures that form a plurality of vertically aligned apertures in the vertical stack when aligned, wherein:
- a first log of the plurality of wood logs includes a first main portion that includes a first main edge end, the first main edge end including a first longitudinally outward opening end notch;
- and
- a second log of the plurality of wood logs includes a second main portion that includes a second main edge end, the second log being vertically adjacent to the first log, the second main edge end including a second longitudinally outward opening end notch;
- and
- a plurality of connector assemblies connecting the plurality of wood logs together in the vertical stack, wherein each connector assembly of the plurality of connector assemblies extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of vertically aligned apertures.

A log wall panel, comprising:
- a plurality of wood logs arranged along a plane, an individual wood log of the plurality of wood logs including a recess having a longitudinally inwardly positioned sidewall and a longitudinally outwardly positioned sidewall;
- a plurality of apertures arranged in a coaxial alignment to form a plurality of coaxially aligned apertures;
- and
- a plurality of connector assemblies connecting the plurality of wood logs together in a vertical stack, wherein each connector assembly of the plurality of connector assemblies extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of coaxially aligned apertures,
- wherein the log wall panel is pre-assembled to have each of the plurality of wood logs include an end notch that fits an end of another log wall panel arranged in another plane transverse to the plane of the plurality of logs of the log wall panel.
