I have a house that also has part of log home (Cabin) incorporated into it. I estimate my log part was built in 1836. I have rehabbed it, just as you are talking about. I have a link here you can read. I used "Mix C" in their document.
Use white portland cement, which will keep your daubing fairly white. Also, I used metal plaster lathing in between the logs. You use roofing nails to tack it on both the top and bottom. Then you smear the Daubing in by hand. Use heavy dishwashing gloves. As it starts to dry, smooth it out. Then once dry take an angle grinder, with a wire brush to buff off the logs. Dont use the twisted wire brush-- its too coarse, but a normal wire brush for the grinder won"t hurt the logs (if they are hardwood like oak, walnet). Just keep it moving, if you stay in one place it might gouge it. Here is the link.
I would be happy to discuss with you. It is a fairly involved project. It took me and a guy two weekends to put the metal lathing in a two story log home. Then about two weekends to put the daubing in. But it will stay when you do it this way. There is a book out that I got some ideas also, I dont" have the name in mind now though....

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
