You may be right for some of them. For example, the towering vertical posts in this building don't match the direction of the grain with each other or with the rest of the log.

However, if you follow the wood grain lines on several of these people, horses' backs, and load, the grain lines do follow the lines of the log, and those figures are carved from the log.
