In this Log Talk, Dave demonstrates how to give your timbers a hand hewn face treatment. To be clear, this is not authentic hewing where we begin with a round log. The logs of this dovetail building have been milled and the outside face is hewn to emulate a traditionally hand hewn dovetail log building. Some clients prefer the upfront investment of hewn timbers which are then left to grey over time, rather than implementing an ongoing staining regime for the life of the building. Dave gives you some practical hewing tips and tricks and goes through a step by step demonstration of a hand hewn face treatment on your timbers.

For a more in depth study of dovetail log construction, we offer a complete online dovetail log building program available on our website at:
