I was hooked on sloyd and believed that it was an approach worth spreading in this country. We invited Wille back, and his classes in Carving Swedish Woodenware were the start of Country Workshops’ course in traditional woodworking in 1978. As with most types of woodworking, there are many traditional and contemporary approaches to carving a spoon. A great deal depends on what tools and materials are available. For this article I will emphasize traditional, hand carved techniques, but I won’t feel compelled to stay strictly within the old methods. The tool kit can be kept simple and portable – perfect for taking on a vacation. Spoon carving utilises some very sharp tools that can cause serious injuries. Because these tools are used free hand – they are not jigged or fenced – it is woodworker strived to develop his skills with axes, a The finer work cleaning up the blank is done with a small axe, chipping away the bark.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Publications, etc. -- Nebraska Forest Service by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. A Nebraska Log Cabin by Marvin Liewer [ 2004 ] Preface Nebraska pioneers built their homes with materials that were locally available. The prairie often dictated the use of sod. However, logs were generally used when trees were available. Today, logs are used in construction of country homes, vacation cabins, and hunting lodges despite modern construction materials. Log construction is aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient. In 1994, I began building a log cabin along the Niobrara River near Butte, Nebraska. My goal was to build an attractive, comfortable cabin using local wood products. I used ponderosa pine logs for the walls. Bur oak and green ash lumber was used for window and door trim. Stair and porch railings were constructed from hand-peeled eastern redcedar poles. Redcedar boards were also used for paneling the basement. The purpose of this report is to describe local wood products and specific constructions tech- niques used in my successful log cabin project.
