Chinking
Chinked Style log homes are purposely built with a space between each course of log work. This space is filled with a backer rod and then chinking is applied both inside and out. Modern chinking has great adhesion and elastomeric (it's got good stretchability) properties, allowing it to expand and contract as the logs move.
