Hand Hewn Face Treatment On Your Timbers: a Practical Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2021
- 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:

Your videos are amazing - thanks very much from the Ottawa Valley. Starting my first cabin soon!
Thanks, glad you like them. Good luck w your build!
A good man with a broadaxe gets a smooth finish--much smoother than the 'hand hewn finish' that people want.
Beautiful
And a great teacher....
Exactly what I was looking for! Have a big 8x12 reclaimed timber from a mill that was torn down. It's being repurposed into a rustic fireplace mantle.
It's got a saw finish,and I was wondering how to give it that hewn/ natural cut look. This was extremely informative and looks relatively easy! Thanks!
Love this video series. I hope we get more soon!
Thanks! We’re working on it.
Very nice! And according to the Finns, they say it enhances the ability for rain to roll off much better because the cells and capillaries are closed within the wood.
Fun fact: Oldest standing log cabin (Structure) in USA is still standing and was built by Finnish emigrates.
Thanks! It’s wonderful to see the old hand hewn buildings standing strong. Have you ever attempted hewing?
From what I see..... maaaan you LOVE what you do.....
Good job
God bless you
That's awesome 👍😎
Thank you!
@ :46, why is there such a gap between the horizontal notches?
Looks like a1/2'' gap.
This is a traditional chinker style log home and as a result it’s built with spaces left between the bellies. This area is later filled with foam backer rod and chinking, as opposed to a full scribe log home.
I'd give ANYTHING TO BUILD ONE. Will look to get info on your school
Hope you can join a course with us! There’s a great online option if you can’t travel. You can see our courses at www.bclogschool.com or email dave@bclogschool.com. Thanks.
I second that
Is the wood with this finish more durable than just saw cut face? If you split the fiber structure, than it doesn´t absorb moisture than saw cut fiber. My grandfather told me something like this if I recall correctly. Or is all that work just for the look of it.
Yes, Slicing through the wood fibers does close up the pores to a certain degree. -less susceptible to moisture.
Can you share what buffing pad you use? Thanks!
It’s a 3M auto body buffing pad. We buy them at auto supply store such as Lordco.
@@bcschooloflogbuilding4385 awesome, thank you!
Are the Timbers you ‘hand hewn’ for this cabin kiln dried? Or was the wood green?
The wood was green.
