This review is from: Log Spirit (Hardcover)

The use of logs in constructing classic lodges and cabins are enduringly popular structures with the American public. Log Spirit shows the home building and remodeler that by adding architectural details (stairs, lofts, and doors) can transform any dwelling into a cozy log haven that will feed the spirit, enrich the soul, and provide an architectural style that is quiet, simple, and minimal. Beautifully illustrated throughout with impressive, full color photography, Linda White covers all aspects of architectural design including walls, roof systems, windows, doors, porches, posts and beams, starts, lofts, railings, stonework, nooks and crannies, and "special effects". A wonderful book for simple browsing, Log Spirit will prove an invaluable resource for ideas and information on log home building and detailing.
