Meet the Original Log Cabin

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, and shares his wealth of knowledge in folksy narration accompanied by photography and illustrations that clearly show every step of the process. Whether you're restoring an old house, building anew, or indulging an interest in traditional building, you'll find much to learn from McRaven's experience, gleaned from a lifetime of trial and error.

* 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

* Install modern utilities
