A technique that Mike f Patriot Log Home Builders uses is, when he stacks the logs, rather than cut them to size, i.e. cut them to the length of the window opening, he finds the closest log and lets them hang threw, then after the stack he cuts threw , after marking the side of the window opening and in one full sweep cuts the opening. This takes skill and a steady arm.
