From Library Journal

The post-and-beam method of construction, which uses a sturdy framework of logs or hewn timbers, has become increasingly popular. Builder and instructor Mitchell has developed a method of making such structures in modular sections. He takes the reader from tree to finished house, showing how to cut logs, hew them into workable sizes, and join them together. He also illustrates wall construction, making openings for windows and doors, and making foundations for differing site conditions. Although the techniques Mitchell uses are difficult, the instructions and illustrations are clear. Log construction has come a long way since Daniel Boone's time?axes have been traded for chain saws and routers?but working with logs is still heavy, dangerous work. Although safety is touched upon, it's assumed that the reader is experienced. Recommended for public libraries with extensive building collections.?Jonathan N. Hershey, Akron-Summit Cty. P.L., Ohio
