Here is fine example of new logs that have been recently hewn with a broad axe in the traditional manner. The finished result is attractive, will last for centuries, and if the labor involved was done by the cabin’s owner (not factored into the cost)… these logs are much cheaper than those found in any log home kit. The only downside is that these logs should be allowed to cure for a couple of years before chinking.

Above is the corn crib of Ephrain Bales.
I want one just like it!
And below is Bob Johnson’s corn crib…
One more…
What is it about corn cribs that makes them so endearing?
A structure like this would look great in anyone’s back yard,would be handy to have, inexpensive to build, and would give anyone who built one the skills and confidence to build their own log home.

This little log outbuilding is likely 200 years old.
It probably took the man who built it a few months of his spare time.
He could have gone to Loews and bought a pre-assembled shed. 😉
(That would have been easier… and quicker).
But, he made this choice.
And so, by choosing to build with his hands, he left behind a treasure to descendants, people that he would never know, a charming outbuilding, one that they could use and enjoy.
If he did nothing else during his life, at least he left behind a lasting legacy of his time here on Earth.
The workmanship of the men and women of our past inspire us all today to ponder what we will leave behind for future generations.
