The Log Sugar Shack

My little woodlot has been transitioning from cedars to hardwoods over the last few decades. Thankfully this process has given me not only maples for tapping but cedar for projects like fencing the garden and the simple zig-zag fence I’ve been putting along the back line of the lot.

Last fall I decided to try building with cedar logs and started yarding. The size of the trees pretty much determined the size the building would be.

Spring 2017 set some posts and started yarding laying up logs…

That fence and cabin are awesome, nice work!

Thanks lyford,

Wish I could figure out how to move this thread to the right topic. Sheeesh.

Red, looks to me like the location of your original post is the only thing you got wrong. That is going to be one sweet shack! Please post more pics as you go along, anywhere'll do! Ted

I moved the thread for you red.

Thank you maple flats.

Got the roof on. The structure ended up remarkably square and level on the top considering the irregularity of the logs.

That is so cool!

Thanks tbear.

Love the cabin shack, not something you see everyday.
