Is the wood properly dried and seasoned?
I would imagine that would be critical to reduce cracking and perhaps bending.
Do you plan to have exposed wood walls visible both inside and outside. I realize that looks amazing but the insulation value is not spectacular (I recall 1 R value per inch of wood, but that likely varies with kind of wood).
You will need to carefully plan how to run wires and plumbing pipes.
About 50 years ago I was quite enthusiastic about living in a log house, though have not done that...….yet.
Good luck
