13th Vocational Competition for Handcrafted Log House Builders

Vocational Competition for Handcrafted Log House Builders has been held already for 12 years. Organized by Estonian Woodhouse Association and Cluster, the competition is one of a kind in Estonia and on international level. It is a good test for professional loghouse builders to compare skills with their colleagues.

The contestants have to show speed and skill in making one of the most important parts of the structure – corner joint and a groove of a log. Competitors can choose between three different corner types: Estonian dovetail corner with wind lock, Estonian square notch with wind lock or Scandinavian notch. Final result is a combination of time and work quality.

The competition is held in three categories – professionals, students & axemen.
