Method of Making Log Cabin Structure Using Landscape Timbers

A method of placing a façade onto a building structure having a plurality of walls, wherein the façade gives the appearance of a log cabin, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a plurality of unfinished landscape timbers, each landscape timber having two opposite flat surfaces and two opposite convex surfaces;
• b) cutting each of the plurality of landscape timbers longitudinally on a perpendicular line between the two flat surfaces to create a plurality of half-timbers, each half-timber having a flat surface opposite a convex surface;
• c) attaching the flat surface of one of the plurality of half-timbers to a solid two-dimensional structure, the solid two-dimensional structure constituting one of the walls of the building structure;
• d) attaching the flat surfaces of additional half-timbers to the solid two-dimensional structure so that half timbers extend in a continuous line from one edge of the solid two-dimensional structure to an opposite edge of the solid two-dimensional structure;
• e) attaching the flat surfaces of still additional half-timbers to the solid two-dimensional structure so that a plurality of rows of half-timbers are attached to the solid two-dimensional structure, each row extending in a continuous line from one edge to an opposite edge of the solid two-dimensional structure, and wherein each succeeding row of half-timbers is immediately adjacent to the previous row of half-timbers;
• and
• f) repeating steps a), b), c), d), and e) for each wall of the building structure.
