Hi Bob, traditional log houses are still proving their worth and if there is local access to wood, not necessarily that expensive. Btw, there are also some modern techniques that have brought the log style back into fashion (hollow logs, with special insulation and infrastructure (ventilation, electricity etc) built into the logs. Sort of fake, but they can look pretty good.

Depends on your need for accuracy, but you can simulate a log/timber frame style house with textures and extending the walls. A couple of demo textures in SF 3D models 335, (see threads 5178 and 5434).
