"Logs may partially reach into the opening to be cut out later if you'd like to speed up construction, but make sure you avoid the corrugated staples in the spacers as you cut."

definition

Corrugated Fastener
Also called a corrugated staple, this smaller rectangular fastener has one sharp edge that strengthens the joint by being placed across and hammered into the wood.

I was fascinated by these things as a boy. The ends of apple crates (which were made with substantial pieces of wood in NZ in those days) wre often made of two pieces of wood three-quarters of an inch thick held together by these things.
