Description: 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.

The Log Home Book presents this heightened interest in log-home living by showcasing both the lessons and designs of the past and the most contemporary ideas and innovations of the present. The Log Home Book contains a wealth of useful construction and design options for the designer, builder or owner of today's log home and is also full of novel ideas for finishing, detailing and decorating your home - whatever the style.

This is a bright and beautiful book with over two hundred spectacular color photographs to inspire you, and in-depth, illustrated maintenance and technical notes to help you care for your legacy in logs.
