Disclosed herein is a coupling device for making angled log corner connections. The device comprises a first elongated coupling portion with a length dimension of "C" and having a second coupling portion having a length "D" coupled thereto in a parallel axis. The first coupling portion in shaped to be received in a first passage located near an end region of a log and the second coupling is shaped to be received in a second passage located near an end region in a horizontally adjacent log. The first coupling portion has first and second coupling end regions for complementarily receiving first and second coupling end regions of like coupling devices. The second coupling portion has trapezoidal cross section wherein it is narrowest at the juncture of coupling to the first coupling portion and the second passage is substantially complementarily shaped. A log construction and method use of the device for making log connections is also provided herein.
