    Hard work, requires skill. But this is NOT real hewing. This is a sawn log being MADE to appear hewn. This is not how great-grampa did it.

    You are right chess, this is 2010 hand hewing, not 1810 hand hewing. These days we have saw mills, less time, real budgets and unfortunately don’t have fortitue or forearms of our forfathers. It seems like from the comments you have made on other “Hand Hewn” posts that you are one of the few folks that are making your logs from scratch, the hard way, the real and right way. More power to you. Looking forward to seeing some movies when you are finished, or in process if you want to share.
