This is about chopping logs for timber-framed houses.....do they just mean this tool is needed for the long haul/the major part of the work, or do they mean something to do with the length measurement?

cope (profile)/groove
Took some looking on this one.
The Swedish reference has "By cutting out a groove (“långdrag”) underneath each log, one could get a tight fit between adjacent logs." (Under the Building technique heading).
The Wikipedia page has a 'Swedish Cope profile' illustrated.
Something to work with in any case.
