This working offers tours and events for adults and children, offering an interactive look at local trees and joining together with master craftsmen to check out antique instruments and play ancient games. Visitors can try their hand at sawing wood with an old two-man saw, removing bark from a log, installing pins, manufacturing the first “crown” for a log building, or even “celebrating the ridgepole festival.” At the conclusion of the tour, visitors will enjoy tea for strength and have a meal under the open sky or in the romantic Campfire Hut. Wooden souvenirs are available, and furniture can be commissioned.
