Screw them to the wall studs and stack them up just like it was a log cabin. Put 2 of them together vertically along the corners and then chink in between each row with Permachink or Logjam. Both commercially available products specifically for log building applications. This pic is an interior wall of my house that is sided exactly that way but used cheaper painters caulk instead of permachink for the chinking.each row was trimmed to the same size so there was no alternating of tip, butt ends like a normal log wall. A draw knife helped make everything line up nice. This interior trim used finish nails, but outside I’d just use some 6-8 inch hex head log screws. They have a long smooth shank with the screw threads only being a couple inches long.
