Heritage Cabin Preservation & Assembly
November 9-11, 2020 |
During this workshop, the “Chestnut Bluff Log Cabin”, built in the early 1800’s, will be re-assembled for reuse. It is a typical Southern “dogtrot style” building.
Attendees will be utilizing scoring axes, broad axes, adzes, chisels and other hand tools to repair/replace ‘in-kind’ the damaged and missing portions of this historic cabin.
1. New plate logs and tie beams will be hewn and fitted.
2. New rafters will be ‘paired’ and ‘seated’ to the plate logs.
3. Other traditional joinery, including wedged scarf joints, will be incorporated into the work.
During the workshop, Historic Preservation Standards and Guidelines will be referred to extensively.
