The walls of a wooden log building are provided with vertical support colum ns acting upon horizontal logs within the walls. The support columns prevent th e logs, or groups of logs, from moving downward due to log shrinkage. Each support colu mn comprises a vertical stack of log supports. Each support comprises an elongated support element, such as a pipe, and a plate element removably secured to an end of the support element. The plate elements support bottom surfaces of the logs and substantially prevent such bottom surfaces from moving downward. The weight of the buildin g is concentrated within the support columns.
