Just finished this one! Took about 7 weeks.

Hundreds of individual pieces.

This cabin also features a wormy chestnut plank floor, many of my cabins have more than 800 individual pieces, and are built using small nails and different types of glue, they can weigh as much as 50 lbs. when finished.

Inside

The roof is easy to remove, revealing the inside of the cabin, this one features a stone fireplace, I usually don't add much to the inside, people who buy my work seem to like the idea of adding their own furniture or trinkets to the interior.

Detail

Attention to detail is crucial, natural materials including log moss, tree roots, bittersweet vine, and other dried plants are often used for decoration, especially on the outside and for landscapes.

Top & left side view.

wooden shingles are used to cover both sides of the roof for a true 3D effect.

Stonework

All stonework is created by using natural creek pebbles found in nearby mountain streams.

Appalachian Miniature Cabin

Each cabin is unique, and built to resemble cabins from long ago, lumber from old homesteads are used to build every cabin, this one is made from rare wormy chestnut that was salvaged from an old house that once stood on Whitetop Mountain Virginia, just a few miles from Mount Rogers the highest point in the Appalachias of Va.
