Hello, just wondering if you would recommend any specific preservatives if I did have to use one? “You don’t need any preservatives if you keep the logs dry.”

It should work. Logs are many times stronger than they need to be for support and 4.5 inches of wood should be enough. We recently built a 12 x 12 log cabin with logs chain sawed laterally and edged (I call it a skinny D log)Logs varied between 4 and 8 inches at their thickest. Built in a remote area with good timber, it was the most efficent for that site. My son and I did the logs from standing tree to wall in 6 days. Your suggested way would be even quicker, but a little costlier. But maybe if you can get some salvage and save $.
