Wood Architecture
Wood architecture was a creation of Northern Russia, which was designed with great complexity, height and strength. This wood architecture was done without the use of metal nails or a saw. It was log construction and each log was laid horizontally and the bottom of every log was carved out to fit over the one under it, creating a waterproof seal. All cutting was done with an ax and the interior of the structure was ax hewn to a flat surface. This was all done by skilled but self-taught people and all techniques where passed down through generations. Source: Voyce, Arthur (1957).National Elements in Russian Architecture.
