The wealth of information made me purchase this manual for my personal reference library. I fully intend to undertake building a log home for my wife using the procedures that are clearly outlined in this manual. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about log building.

Best resource available for log construction -
Hands-down the best book I've read on the subject. My wife and I have always dreamed of building our own log home from scratch and although we have now gone the route of hiring professionals, this book has been an invaluable resource for understanding the tools and techniques they used to make our dream a reality. I strongly recommend this book to anyone considering a handcrafted log home - whether you intend to build it yourself, hire it done or if you are purchasing an existing home.
Chambers explains how to identify quality craftsmanship and provides the most comprehensive review of this amazing craft in terms that can be understood by all. As first-time visitors awe at our log home, this book has given me the knowledge and confidence to explain exactly how it was built.
Robert Chambers clearly has a gift for writing that has resulted in a book that answers the complicated questions and is an absolute joy to read.
