Woodworking in the early days. Log house joinery

in photography •  7 years ago 

I have a 1908 house that is on my property that I have had stripped and will be restoring to an outdoor garden and upper deck. Here are a couple of photos of the joinery that was done with hand tools in the early age of settlement in our area. cottage1.jpgcabinwoodwork2.jpgcabinwoodwork.jpg

Looks horrific.

Lots of wood rot that has to be removed. Pretty cool building though!

Love how the black and white makes it also look slightly haunted but very old.

Kinda spooky with the right lighting, nothing to hauntingly stimulating inside, a few rodents maybe...

I love these old cabins! People worked so hard and made such amazing pieces of furniture, buildings, tools etc... They really knew what they were doing and things were meant to last! Good luck

Yes, for what they had to work with quite impressive seeing the old wood working techniques.
