Synopsis

This book tells you what you need to know to build your own handcrafted log home, and also reveals the deep rhythms and patterns of log construction. Chambers shows how to take naturally-shaped, tapered, round logs and scribe-fit them one to another so that they look like they actually grew together in the forest.

About this title

From the Publisher:

The Log Construction Manual has been the best-selling log-home how-to book since it was first published in 2002. This 2006 edition has a section of color photos, and updated black and white photos throughout. Hundreds of photos and drawings compliment the clear and easy-to-read information that Chambers provides to beginners and experienced log builders.

From the Author:

I have written the Log Construction Manual as a textbook for learning the trade of handcrafted, scribe-fit, log construction. It is used by log building trade schools throughout the world, but is written for people who want to build or help-build their own log home. My book clearly explains what you need to do to build the walls and roof of scribe-fit log homes.
