Traditional Finnish Log House
In the world of log home building, Finland's masters are considered experts their field. With a history dating back centuries, these Northern European craftsmen have maintained their solid reputations not just by building homes and other dwellings that have remained standing long enough to be admired today, they've also passed their skills and knowledge down to the next generation of builders, making sure they carry on the same traditions of quality and longevity. However, today only a few truly skilled craftsmen continue to build log houses in Northern Europe using their ancestor's tools and techniques. The tedious and inefficient methods passed down from history have slowly given way to more modern and faster powered tools and techniques that make log home building easier and more streamlined - ideally to meet the continued and growing demand for traditional-styled log homes, cottages, saunas, and other types of buildings. Handcrafted Wooden Walls is Finnish log home builder, Jarmo Hiltunen's fourth and most comprehensive book on the topic. By combining the first three corner notch techniques - Cross, Diamond-Saddle and Dovetail - into this one complete volume, Jarmo brings even more of his in-depth skills, knowledge and years of experience, as well as tips and techniques from other notable Finnish pros, to carefully and meticulously guide you through several log wall building techniques. But this isn't just a collection of his three previous books. In this book, Jarmo takes you much further...and back. In this newest edition, not only has Jarmo included the fascinating origins and historic significance of Finland's log building traditions - beginning with the Forest Finns of 17th century Sweden - he also includes tips and techniques for crucial steps such as selecting the best logs for your building project, tool selection and maintenance (What is a piilu axe and why should you have one?), knowing when your logs are dry enough to add them to your wall, the best way to transport your logs from storage to the building site, and much, much more! This book is Jarmo Hiltunen's most complete and extensive book on the topic to date - in fact, it's probably the only book of its kind in English. So, if you're hoping to start a building project using Finland's time-tested log building techniques - we think you should - this is the book you must have by your side.

Guns on the Early Frontiers
This is an account of the guns which, in the hands of Indians, trappers, and soldiers, helped shape the history of the American West. Much more than a descriptive record of gun types, the volume also relates the guns to the people who made, sold, and used them, and to the momentous events of westward expansion that were often strongly influenced by the gun trade.Guns on the Early Frontiers is concerned particularly with the arms used in the West during the first half of the nineteenth century, but since the guns used in the earlier settlement of the eastern half of the continent were the antecedents of the western arms, these too are discussed, together with the significant European influences which affected both the mechanisms of guns and the politics of the traders of guns.The guns of the fur traders or "mountain men," the Hudson's Bay fuke or "Northwest gun," the rifles and other arms of traders and soldiers-all are treated in detail. Ammunition and small cannon are also covered, and the more important guns and the features of particular significance in identifying guns are illustrated. A thoroughly documented record is given of such intriguing matters as the determination of the Indian to obtain the exact guns of his own choosing and how this choice affected specifications and trademarks. Here also is the story of how different arms competed; why the musket never was displaced by the rifle in the esteem of the early nineteenth-century red man; how the flint persisted on the frontier long after the percussion method of firing was perfected; why the light, short carbine displaced long-barreled arms in the West; how the first users of early repeating arms struggled to win acceptance for the improved guns in the U.S. Ordnance Bureau; and how the breechloader and the formidably effective revolving arms were eventually the means of the white man's domination over the horse-riding Indians of the Plains.This authoritative history of frontier firearms will appeal to the reader interested in American lore, to historians and students of guns, and to private arms collectors everywhere. Carl P. Russell (1894-1967) was formerly Superintendent of Yosemite National Park, and earlier spent many years in Washington, D. C., as Chief Naturalist in charge of Park Service naturalist programs, geology, wildlife, and museums. The National Park Service has important gun collections in a number of its museums. Dr. Russell collected information on guns for twenty-six years, and this volume is notable among gun books for its thoroughness in identifying the guns used on America's moving frontiers and for its careful and objective documentation.Guns on the Early Frontiers was first published in 1957.

Home at Last
Bestselling author and popular American architect Gil Schafer returns with the final installment in his trilogy on the rewards of living in the American house. The work of Gil Schafer--one of the world's leading experts on contemporary traditional architecture--is beloved for its elegance, charm, and strong sense of history and place. Since his last book, Schafer has become a husband and stepfather, a change that has deepened his understanding of how a house must reflect and support the lives of those who live within its walls. Home at Last is a distillation of what he has learned and how he translates it to his work on houses that are adaptive to the evolution of life, depending upon a family's needs. The book includes homes he has designed in the mist-covered Hudson Valley, on a bluff above Lake Champlain, on the windswept shores of Block Island, and on the coast of Maine. Schafer shares the stories of these houses and their owners, exploring the choices made for architecture and interiors, and reemphasizing his guiding principles: how to create classical buildings that "live modern"; how to adapt buildings to different regions and ways of life; the connection to landscape; why fancy can coexist with simple, and traditional with modern. With original photography by Eric Piasecki, layered with practical takeaways, Home at Last is a tribute to the power of the American house.
