Prairie Mountain Folk School has partnered with Cabin Love to offer this 8-day course on how to build a 16x20 Japanese style timber frame cabin.

This one’s simple, without all the frills, just like a cabin should be. Want to take the cabin home? At the end of your 8 day course, students will have the chance to buy the frame you built together. Please note that no experience with woodworking or tools is necessary.
Food and lodging not included, course limited to 12 students
