Seems like it'd be easier to use larger lumber for a fake log cabin, 4x12s with or without grooves, and lots of construction adhesive...
There is also "silo" construction, where you build the walls with flat 2x4s, like how you do top plates in platform construction, but the whole wall. Very strong, but would use a ton of fasteners, and you still would want to seal or use siding to keep bugs and moisture from getting in.
I'd like to see someone do plantation style single wall but with 2x12 vertical wallboards. I think that'd be pretty sturdy!
