Nothing captures the romance of country life quite like a log cabin does b" trees cut from the thick woods of the wilderness; hewn by hand into squared-off logs; then stacked to create a sturdy shelter, a warm hearth, a welcoming home. He restored his first log house in 1946, at the age of eleven. Author Charles McRaven knows these traditional structures from the inside out, and from the outside in.

McRaven then dives deep into describing the details of hewn-log construction, beginning with site selection all the way through to the finishing steps such as plumbing and utilities. Clear, how-to line illustrations accompany the text throughout.
