Certainly there are hardships, unfulfilled wants, and disappointments felt by those in this fictitious painting, but you certainly don’t see it in their actions. They all appear very happy just to have each other… and, a fine log home in the country.
And that, is the way it should be.

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.

Log cabin kits always seem to fall so short of the standard provided by our ancestors. The “handworked” surface added to this kit in no way resembles that of the vintage cabin also pictured here. I will never understand how some view the act of abusing new wood as “aging”.

It seems whenever I post photos of cabins online that small ones like this draw the most attention and the greatest number of comments. I can understand why.

I regularly am getting requests for guidance in where to best find plans for a nice small log cabin. My response is that I’ve never found plans anywhere that I like… they are always too… modern… brick rancher type… or Mclogmansion… where as I admire the classic cabin style.
I am in the process of scanning and issuing copies of my hand drawn plans of cabins that I have built in the past (at a huge discount), but the process is slow and I’m so easily distracted… mainly from putting together the Handmade House Academy program. For anyone interested in obtaining these proven plans they should consider signing up to my newsletter on my site… handmadehouses. com for updates when they become available… also… consider signing on to the upcoming “Academy” where I will demonstrate how I, or anyone, can draw their own plans. (the course will be well worth it for that skill alone) BTW… I did not draw this image… I’m a builder… lol… not a pen and ink artist… maybe one day though I’ll be able to do this craft too… skill comes through practice, after all.

The majesty of a large log home… amazing.

I wonder how many of you know what the purpose of the free standing steps were that are seen out front of this fine cabin?

How is that something so basic as a structure like this can impress the soul more than a new home built today?
