The method of filling large mortar joints in stone veneer with small chips or silvers of stone.

The method of filling the space between the logs in the walls. If round logs are used, both the inside and the outside of the wall is chinked. There are many materials that have been used for chinking, some modern, and some as ancient as moss and clay. I used the method taught by Skip of packing loose fiberglass in the inside, driving galvanized nails into the bottom log and sticking up into the crack, and then troweling brick mortar over the fiberglass and nails.

The filling used between rows of stacked logs. Most often used in log systems where rows of logs do not bear directly on the row below, but are separated by a space. Traditional chinking is mortar-based. Modern synthetic chinking, manufactured to look like traditional chinking, is similar to caulk but with greater density, flexibility and durability.
