The Classic Hewn-Log House
A Step-By-Step Guide to Building and Restoring
Charles McRaven
The hewn-log house is a classic of early American architecture, evocative of the pioneer experience and westward exploration. Charles McRaven has been building and restoring hewn-log houses for 60 years. Accompanied by photography and illustrations, this book shows every step of the process. Learn to hew a log with a broadaxe, make a dovetail notch, replace rotten logs, mix chinking mortar and install it properly, find and use vintage logs, use pioneer hand tools, build a stone foundation and fireplace, and install modern utilities.
