!!!EXCITING NEWS!!!

After many requests and much anticipation we are pleased to anounce that we will finally be hosting another of our renowned log cabin courses this July !!!

The woodenways team have been busy the last few years focused on other things so dont miss the opportunity to join us on our first Log Cabin course in years!

Dan Franklin and the Woodenways professional log building team have been running these courses successfully since 1996.

These courses have taught some of the best cabin builders in the counrty and have a reputation far and wide.

On this course you will learn how to build your own log cabin, it is intensive and no holds barred. We will share our knowledge and experience to help you build log cabins. Be prepared to learn so much more about timber as well as log cabin building.

Many of our past students have gone on to build their own log cabins and there are now at least ten successful log cabin building companies in the UK whom we have trained.

We have three experienced builders who share up to 8 students and we cover foundation layout, walls, windows, doors, roof structure and settling issues.

The sight here in mid Devon is beautiful, particularly at this time of year where we hace accommodation in (rustic) caravans or cabins or you may camp on site
