Use a felt paper spline wrapped around the corner and extending 6 inches beyond the corner board to protect the joints where the siding meets the corner boards see figure 1 5 at left. Use a square length of 5 4 stock at inside corners with a spline underneath. Always apply primer or stain end cuts. It can also be butted against adjoining walls with a trim strip used to cover the joint.

Kiln dried pine or air dried western red cedar. Available smooth or hewn. 2 1 4 x 2 1 4 or 3 x 3 square inside corner. Use a 4 piece corner system to add a contrasting or coordinating color.

Air dried 5 x 5 also available for 4 1 2 x 9 half log siding. For inside corners i like to start at the corner itself and work the row outward from there.
