Thanks for the compliment. Saw it first in a restaurant in Boulder, CO. Thought I'd try it on a custom home we build several years ago.

Pretty simple actually. Sheet ceiling with plywood. Cut short pieces of logs of different diameters and lengths, 2" to about 6" or whatever suits you. Dab some construction adhesive or silicone on the end of the log and shoot a few pin nails (toenailed in at angle) to hold until dry. Alternately use screws instead of nails, depending on the size and weight of the log cutoffs. Have fun!
