Two Cordwood Workshops are being offered in Grand Marias, Minnesota in August 2024.  These workshops will be led by cordwood master builders Charles Yeager and Martha Williams.  

A picture of the resting porch of a beautiful cordwood sauna in the UP of Michigan. This was built at a workshop with cordwood expert Charles Yeager. 

An example of some of the motifs and treasures built into this sauna. 

Monika from Cranes’s Landing will also be helping with the workshop.  This is her sauna from last year’s workshop! 

Charles Yeager built this fantastic sauna a decade ago.
