Alaska School of Log Building

The New Seward Highway travels along Turnagain Arm, located just south of Anchorage, Alaska.  The New Seward Highway is a National Scenic Byway and considered to be in the top ten most scenic places to travel in America. This awesome mountain and ocean scenery serves as the backdrop for Alaska School of Log Building.

While the art of log building has been around for centuries, starting with many of the Scandinavian countries and Russia in particular, the craft has probably never seen as much interest and improvement as it has in the past 40 years. It is our desire at Alaska School of Log Building for you to develop skills of working with logs that so many have wanted to learn.  This is a unique artwork.  We feel that it is important to pass on a craft that is environmentally friendly.  Students will enjoy learning the scribe fit method of joining logs together.  Also, learning how to begin the process of selecting and cutting flats on the first course to setting cap wall logs and preparation for constructing various roof member configurations will provide you a great sense of achievement. 

Serving as the main instructor, Greg Anderson has over 35 years of experience in log construction. He has served as a Director for the Great Lakes LogCrafters Association (1990-1992), and is still active in building for others.

Date to be Announced for our next school. We have 4 students that currently want to do the school.  We are looking for 3-4 more students to coordinate a date with.
