Probably in all for the two cabins I had to hew about 12 logs.
I know I did 10 for the big cabin, shown in the background of the picture of me sitting.
For the blacksmith cabin, I did maybe four more. So I guess that makes 14 or so.
I did use a chainsaw to cut the vertical cuts, but an axe for the actual hewing.
Let the chips fall where they may.
The one I am sitting on is a sill log for the smaller blacksmith cabin.
By the time I had been doing this a while, after cutting down the tree and cutting it to length and de-limbing, I could hew two sides in about an hour.
I always had a couple of axes on hand and files nearby to keep them sharp
Such a nice writing. The style you have narrated is simple beautiful and well authored. The quality of writing can be seen from the beginning until the end.
