Noah Bly built this gorgeous cordwood sauna in Maine. He made all the doors and fabricated the hinges with rock-solid blacksmithing and mudded all the walls. The Sauna is an excellent example of a simple shed design. The building is relatively easy to frame and with the post-frame each “cordwood section” can be worked on within a manageable timeframe.
Noah’s artistry and exquisite craftsmanship speak for themselves.
Sauna benches make for a comfortable seat as you sweat your cares away!
Don’t you just love the nighttime pictures of the sauna?
