Log homes are as special as the people who build them. Handcrafted and individual, these buildings reflect their owners' personalities in a unique way. The art of log building has undergone a worldwide renaissance in recent years, in North America, Japan, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
In this book New Zealand log builders Bill Knight and Liz Brook set out to describe and illustrate the various stages of building a log home. In clear, lively style they cover cost, drawing up plans, selecting and felling trees, choosing a site, laying foundations, the tools for the job and how they work and the different building techniques.
