Fred Robson has built a beautiful “Cordwood Bunkie” as he calls it on the shores of the magnificently beautiful Lake Kawawaymog in Ontario.Fred makes mandolins and guitars and is a very talented craftsman. You can see his talent in this light and airy cordwood cabin.The floors are acid etched with a compass motif.Fred built his own bed and now he has to make it!
The octagon windows add a nice touch of light.
His practice building was a cordwood sauna. It gets might cold up on Lake Kawawaymog . Very nicely done Fred!
