Digital Dan; Good evening to you sir, I hope all is well with you and those who matter to you.
While I've worked in the cabinet industry for 27 years and know my way around a few trick moves as far as making dovetail joints, I'm going to admit this one has me stumped.
When I tried to find other images of it, it took me to Slovenia and it doesn't surprise me that it's old world European, but I'm at a loss as to how they did it.
Thanks for the puzzle this evening sir, it's a good one!
All the best to you folks this Christmas Season Dan.
Dwayne

I built a log home. Not like that. Yes impressive. I'm guessing corners were milled, not done by hand

Joinery used to be a trade - apprentice, journeyman, master. This is one of the masters who went on to become an artist.

I'm sure it must of been a time consuming effort completed by a true craftsman.
There are only a couple ways I can conjure up of how it may have been accomplished but I'd have to take it apart to know for sure.

That's awesome looking joinery but I wonder if it will wick water and eventually promote rot?

Salty303; Good evening to you sir, I trust all is well with you folks out west tonight and all those in your life are healthy. Where I am going now is when we look at the end grain, they took a log, milled it flat, then did the fancy dovetail - which I've not quite got the bit figured out yet - and stacked one, then the next. We can hardly see the joints on the flats so it looks like it's more than one dovetail per log, but it's not - I think? Absolutely it's an impressive bit of joinery for sure! All the best to you all this Christmas Salty. Dwayne

The logs on the right have the dovetailing.The logs on the left are actually two pieces split.One on top ,the other on the bottom.That is a Scandinavian style log building.The split logs are so tight they look solid,but if you look close you can see where they are joined.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

Back at you Dwayne the very best to you and yours.
Yeah.. all I could come up with is flat sawn oversized and then templates to trace out and slowly carve it out. As Huntz says we are most definitely looking at old world craftsmanship of some sort Scandinavian would make sense.

Bill A little research showed me that the photo was of a 1800's cabin in Slovenia, I think the guy had his moisture issues figured out. One thing we've accomplished here in America is having the most boring architecture on earth shy a few exceptions. Early on there was some pretty cool masonry, brick and block work that stood out but that's now a lost trade that was probably accomplished by European tradesmen to start with. We all basically all live in square boxes.

Stacked like a log home. Still beautiful work. This... No dovetail sliding at all.

Undoubtedly stacked, but it's the way the joint is cut that's mind boggling.
