National Log Cabin Day
-- A day to remember that quieter and simpler era when life was more rugged. Historically most Log cabins were simple one or 1½-story structures, somewhat impermanent, and less finished or less architecturally sophisticated. A log cabin was usually constructed with round rather than hewn, or hand-worked, logs, and often it was the first generation home building erected quickly for frontier shelter.
Read: How to Build and Furnish a Log Cabin, by W. Ben Hunt
-- W. Ben Hunt's classic has earned a reputation as the authentic handbook since it was first published in 1939. Updated in 1974, it remains the only step-by-step guide to building log cabins and log furniture -- pioneer style. There are other manuals on building cabins, but W. Ben Hunt is the only one to show you how to build and furnish an authentic pioneer cabin - the easy, natural way, using only hand tools and the woods around you. Our ancestors used logs and hand tools to build durable, dry, windproof, and protective dwellings; and they fashioned chairs, tables, branches, and bushes. In this day of power saws, lumberyards, and high prices, it's good to know that you can build in the same way.
Log Cabin Kings
-- The finest log homes on earth are custom-built by the men and women of Pioneer Log Homes. These master log-smiths and artisans handcraft each home on their log yard, take them apart, and then ship the homes all around the world to be reconstructed wherever their clients want. No one has ever built homes quite like the Log Cabin Kings.
Lincoln Logs
-- Inspired by the Meeting House, a build from one of the first LINCOLN LOGS sets, the 100th Anniversary Tin highlights the nostalgia of LINCOLN LOGS in a set just like you remember! Parts and pieces come in a collectible tin which doubles as storage. A great set to give your favorite LINCOLN LOGS builder!
