It's just old-fashioned elbow grease that raises this log for a cabin built in Fort Lee, NJ.

 

Art DeCamp demonstrates hornsmithing at "History Meets the Arts" in Gettysburg where Village Restorations hosts, in conjunction with Lord Nelsons Gallery, the outside artisans each year.  Check back for April 2008 dates.

Students get to experience filling a sand-bag at the WWI Trench exhibit located at the Army Heritage & Education Center, Carlisle, PA.   The center offers a full educational experience of the life of a soldier throughout history. 

 These kids in Michigan stand proudly in front of their handi-work.  They built (with a little help)this cabin from a pile of logs in one week.  The cabin was later raffled off as a fund-raiser.

Shown below a visitor gives it a try.  This log was "scored" and a line snapped to hew into a beam.

Roland Cadle, shown above demonstrates technique on preparation of a log before hewing.
