It is notable as an "owner-built example of late log architecture in Challis. The house represents the persistence of horizontal log construction into the twentieth century and the use of sawn logs, a rarity in Idaho log construction." With .

The logs are shaped to a diamond at their ends. Aside from the pulpit, the only furnishings in the church are the pews, crudely constructed from half-sawn logs, and wooden lamp stands. The altar from the church, believed to have been used by Bishop Asbury, is preserved as well.

The railway line to Boolarra opened in 1885 and the line extended to Mirboo North in 1886. At Boolarra and Mirboo North several sawmills operated and paling splitting was also widespread. The palings and blackwood logs were transported out by rail. The sawmills operating at Darlimurla from the 1880s also produced significant numbers of sawn logs.

Most timber is shipped down the Ubangi and Zaire rivers and then on the Congo railway to the Atlantic. About 34 species of trees are felled, but 85% of the total is ayous, Aniegré, iroko, sapele, and sipo. A dozen sawmills produced of sawn logs and veneer logs in 2014. The government is encouraging production of plywood and veneer due to the high exporting costs due to poor transportation infrastructure.

At Poverty Point, the site of the second coastal terminus, are the remains of a set of timber skids. Sawn logs were offloaded from the trams and rolled along these skids out into the bay for rafting. These skids are likely to relate to the later Hyne and Son timber- getting operation but may also overlay Pettigrew's use of the site. The eastern section of the skids is located on higher land towards the scrub.

The Hillyard Cabin is a historic log cabin on Old Burr Road, northeast of Warm Springs, Arkansas. It is a single-pen log structure, with a gable roof and a fieldstone chimney. The pen is square, fashioned out of sawn logs laid without chinking. The east-facing front facade has a shed-roof porch extending across its width, with a doorway into the cabin on the right and a window on the left.

Only a small number of sleepers and rails of the Main Branch are still in situ today, but the route can be clearly distinguished. The wooden tramway of the Main Branch was constructed from approximately totara rails, laid onto rough-sawn logs of various diameters. The rails were attached to the wooden sleepers by large metal spikes, some of are still in place along the tramway. The sleepers are spaced apart and the gauge of the rails is approximately similar to the Wellington tramway system.

The McIntire Garrison House is set on the south side of Cider Hill Road in a rural section of York, Maine, overlooking a bend in the York River. It is a two-story log structure, sheathed in wooden clapboards, with a side-gable roof pierced by a central chimney. The second floor projects slightly over the first floor on all four sides, one side of which has been fitted with a trapdoor to see below. The walls are constructed out of sawn logs thick, and dovetailed together at the corners.

The north-west to south-east logs have been positioned under the more inland set of north-east to south- west logs. It appears that this has been done to add height to the inland section of the ramp, enabling sawn logs to better slide down into Seary's Creek. Along the north-western extent of this feature, the timber orientated north-west to south-east terminates with a stepped cut, allowing a log to sit securely underneath. The rafting ground may have been re-laid over time and surviving remnants may relate to Pettigrew's operation or a later timber- getting operation.

Interior finishes vary, but notably include original wide pine flooring and exposed log structure in the downstairs northwest room. The construction method used to build the house is a traditional Acadian piece sur piece method, in which sawn logs are place one atop the other, set in a post- and-beam frame which supports the roof. This method is distinct from other construction methods seen in the region, including those used by early English settlers and later 19th-century Swedish immigrants. The place where the Daigles owned their land was in territory disputed between Massachusetts (which Maine was part of prior to its 1820 statehood) and New Brunswick.
