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....

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
