Log Building School
If you have any inclination to build your log home yourself or be your own general contractor, consider going to school for it before you start carving out those notches.
 logbuildingschool.netThe Pat Wolfe Log Building School in Ontario offers several hands-on courses in log building (European chink-less style)—from a one-week session during which you'll brush up on enough industry knowledge to be your own contractor to an intensive 10-week course, after which you just might change your profession. schooloflogbuilding.com In northern Minnesota, the instructors at the Great Lakes School of Log Building will teach you the skills necessary to construct your own handcrafted log cabin. Their craft is Scandinavian full-scribed log construction, and the 10-day course is designed in accordance with the International Log Builders' Association Log Building Standards/Best Practices. Beginners welcome. logandtimberschool.com At the Island School of Building Arts in British Columbia, students learn to build a 16-by-24-foot log house over four weeks. There's also a semester option—a 16-week course that covers log building, timber post-and-beam construction, timber-frame bents and decorative stonework. northhousefolkschool.com There are a number of building classes at the North House Folk School, though we think you'll like the builders workshop for dovetail log homes (you'll build your own 8-by-8-foot cabin) and the introduction to log-home building that focuses on erecting a home with round logs. Both classes last five days and are suitable for beginners.
