Sometimes wood can bow in either an upward or downwards direction. If you find such a log use it lower down, with logs and weight on top the bow will disappear very quickly. This includes bows in the top logs, with the roof fitted they will disappear..
Example of a downward bow. With logs on top this will quickly close.
An example of an upward bow with logs on top this will go down very quickly and is not a problem
An extreme upward bow example. Even this is not a problem with other logs put on top. It very quickly goes down.
