5.0 out of 5 stars Refer to this book early and often, June 22, 1998

This review is from: Building and Restoring the Hewn Log House (Paperback)
This is critical book in the collection any builder/restorer should have close at hand. The knowledge McRaven shares from his vast experience is a standout among the limited sources available to the restorer. While I am using several sources for my restoration project, I have referred to this one most.

This review is from: Building and Restoring the Hewn Log House (Paperback)
McRaven describes in detail the steps necessary to ultimately live in a log house. From acquisition through to suggestions for decoration of the interior, this book clearly outlines what is in store for a log house enthusiast. The author also provides helpful suggestions throughout the book. Preservationists, historic resource surveyors as well as people interested in living in a log house will all gain from the content of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding reference about square-hewn appalachian-style, November 26, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Building and Restoring the Hewn Log House (Paperback)
After stumbling upon a tattered copy of the earlier version of this book (now out of print) in the local library, I can only say that I called Mcraven several times LD from Germany in 1993 to check on the publish date of the revised edition. Really an excellent book- essential for the shelf of anyone with an interest in the authentic square-hewn type of cabin.
