4.0 out of 5 stars A detailed explanation of non- stick-frame housebuilding, 5 Jul 1999

By A Customer

The author explains building with logs, timbers, pole-frames, cordwood and mortar, and stone and mortar.

It's a big book with a good deal of technical information, diagrams, and very good annotated bibliographies for each chapter, also including contact information for schools on timber-framing, log-building, etc.

Good if you want to see what's available, or nail down a specific construction method. Not at all dated material.
