Two screws in each stud, one through the upper part of the siding and one through the lower part, keeping them high enough or low enough that the chinking covers the screws. And where you can't cover the screws with chinking, countersink and plug the holes. We use branches and shape them with a belt sander or grinder so, the plugs look like knots. If you need any more info or advice PM me and I'll give you my phone number.

Sounds very master craftsman type of work. Good on you.
