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 Log Structures Log Building Course. While log home construction 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 Log Structures Building Course 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. There are aspects of construction and craft that you can learn on other courses, via online education or some building camps. However, this course will give you direct, hands-on experience. You will learn from the basics on up, with experienced teachers to guide you. Serving as the main instructor, Greg Anderson has over 37 years of experience in log home construction. He has served as a Director for the Great Lakes Log Crafters Association (1990-1992), and is still active in building for others.
