Building the Hewn Log House

More about the book

Books about traditional folk houses in general and log houses in particular have been published before. There have been "how-to-build" books, historical-geographical surveys, even studies of those people one hundred years ago who built and lived in traditional forms of housing -- based entirely on the house forms themselves. Charles McRaven, in Building the Hewn Log House considers all of these approaches to the description and understanding of the hewn log house.
