Log Cabin
 |
| Looking like a dwelling in a remote North American forest, the
Centre's attractive Log Cabin was constructed in 1996 using timber taken from trees in a conifer plantation just metres from the
construction site. Trees were felled, debarked and seasoned before construction
using the American Full-Scribe technique. This highly skilled task involved shaping
each of the trunks so that they would sit accurately on top of each other and keep out wet
and draughts. Timber is an ideal renewable resource for the construction of buildings.
For every tree cut down, a new one can be planted for use in the future. |
