Should be the same way you do round logs. There are various different types of notches for log construction.

Simplest method is to use 1/2" rebar.
If stacking, use a piece of rebar equal to the 3 pieces.
If it's end to end, simply bend the rebar into a square "u" shape.
Drill 7/16" holes and pound the rebar in like giant nails.
Scarf joints or even dove tails would be nice, but become labor intensive rather quickly.
