The Log Home Book: Design, Past & Present - Hardcover
In years past, the mention of a log home conjured up images of a primitive vacation cabin in the heart of a wooded wilderness. Although its roots are firmly planted in tradition, log-home living is now becoming a strong, contemporary component of the culture of many countries. Here and around the world, new technology and construction techniques are making log-home living a realistic alternative for a family home of any size or style. Log-home design and construction now encompasses styles from the historic and traditional to the heights of modern innovation and opulence.
