Cracks in Logs

Mere cracking is not grounds for warranty replacement of a log, as all logs will experience cracking at some time.  The logs are subjected to uneven heating, which relieves itself through cracking.  Such cracks are most evident in smooth faced logs like split face, manzanita and birch.  We reinforce the logs with steel rods to hold together the log (which is much more rigid and effective than other means used by competitors, such as metal shards, mesh, plastic threads or none at all).
