The exclusive Colorado Corner has the look of a full saddle notch corner, while providing the structural integrity of a double mortise-and-tenon (as in fine cabinet joinery).

double-air-and-moisture sealed utilizing ButyLog. This system creates an air-tight, permanent seal without need for caulk or chink.
Log courses and corner joints are secured with double washers and 12” lags.
