Some log home companies let the fresh cut logs or milled timbers sit outside in the open air to dry naturally. The timbers can be stacked with spacers (stickers) between them. This process allows the moisture content of the logs to naturally come down as the timber dries. This process requires at least one year per inch of thickness, and requires adequate space to let air circulate. If the logs are to be dried to an equilibrium with the local climate the process may take several years, depending on the location and size of timbers. In some environments the logs must be kept under some type of roof or cover so that rain does not affect the logs.

Once the logs have dried for the desired time frame the logs are profiled and shipped to a customer. Profiling usually does not take place until right before shipment to ensure that the logs stay as uniform as possible. Arguably this process may or may not have any benefit depending on many factors such as, local climate, species of wood size of wood, size of wood, and final location of the log structure.
