From Log to Log House –  Sven-Gunnar Hakansson

From Log to Log House. Author, Sven-Gunnar Håkansson

Finally back in print after many years. Until now used copies of this book were being sold for $200 or more! In the olden days, building from logs was common-place everywhere trees were plentiful. It was the only way of providing oneself with a house or outbuildings. The craft of long building is a trade that takes considerable skill. If you intend to build your own log home, or a log shed, this book may give you some ideas of styles and floor plans.

Anybody who is capable of swinging an axe will also be able to craft a notch. Log tightness and joint precision need not always be perfect, but should be suited to the use of the building. The important thing is that the participating individual feels the happiness of building a log house, his hands on the axe.
