A cabin with huge, wonderful, logs.
All hewn with an axe.
And, with half-dovetail notches in the corners.
Large trees were common back when most of these historic cabins were built, and still today wide logs are available with a little bit of looking. I’ve wondered about why more cabins were not made of wide logs like these are, and even wider ones… the only thing I can come up with is the practicality of working with logs… it’s much harder to hew a really wide log… and it’s much harder to lift a really wide log.
