<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>The only step-by-step guide to building log cabins and log furniture--Pioneer style</b> <p>There are other manuals on building cabins, but W. Ben Hunt's is the <i>only</i> 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.</p> <p><b>How to Build a Log Cabin</b><br /> <i>Part One</i> provides complete directions for building cabins of three sizes: one-room, one-room and lean-to, and three-room. Just follow the clear instructions on every step of construction from choosing the site, clearing the tract, and building the foundation to installing fixtures, heating, and lighting.</p> <p><b>How to Furnish a Log Cabin</b><br /> If you're not ready to build an entire cabin, you can try your hand at some of the small furnishings such as lamps, fences, and candlesticks. <i>Part Two</i> tells all you need to know to build and finish rustic furniture for an entire home: benches, tables, chairs, beds, cots, shelves, candelabras, gates, arbors, wayside stands, even road signs and birdhouses.</p> <p><b>"Two Books in One"</b><br /> There are really two books in one here: <i>Building a Log Cabin</i>, published in 1947, and <i>Rustic Construction</i>, published in 1939. These two classics have been reproduced exactly as they first appeared, with the drawings and photographs that W. Ben Hunt selected and produced for the original editions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>W.

Most of his life was spent teaching, creating artwork, building cabins and furniture, and lecturing about the out-of-doors.
