Swedish Cope

The Swedish Cope method provides a full weight bearing arc in each log, running the entire

 length and exactly matching the arc of the log below. This produces a full-weight bearing arc

the entire length of the log, not just at the ends. This produces greater stability and strength.

Inside the arc of the Swedish cope is an extra notch running the full length of the log. This notch

contains a 1/2"x1/2" polyurethane "memory cell" foam gasket. Each course, or layer of logs is

drilled and lagged (1/2" zinc plated) to the course below.
