Arnold, CA…We all know deep in our souls that modern life is not making us happier, healthier or more fulfilled. The simple things like a small cabin in the woods, simple foods cooked with wood you prepared. Cost, almost nothing. Value to your soul & resetting your life? Priceless!

At Hewn we know many of you crave a simple rewarding life that looks nothing like today’s AI driven & tech obsessed world. You will own nothing a be happy they say.

All most of us want is a little place of our own and enough time to actually live life instead of chase it.

The American Dream isn’t the modern world. Most of us know it. Chasing dopamine hits, franticly poking at our devices isn’t real life. Your are more than just another part of the “attention economy”

We are stripping it all away, starting at the basics and then slowly adding back the pieces of what everyone says is a modern life to try and find the right balance again.

Join us on the journey. Have a great day.

If you would like one of our Hewn Coffee Mugs they are available for $9.99 at the Hewn Woodshed on Hwy 4 or at Hewn.co

About The Chainsaw Cabin
The Chainsaw Cabin is our first building, a small 120 square feet shed/cabin on Hewn Hill. All lumber will be hand milled with a small inexpensive electric chainsaw. This is to see if anyone can build a small functional building with literally tools you can find at a garage sale and our only costs will be roofing, fasteners & glass for windows.

The Chainsaw Cabin is single wall construction where the wallboards are a structural component of the build. Many of our primitive and pioneer building were constructed this way. The outside wallboard is also the interior board as well.

Henry David Thoreau’s cabin was only 10 x 15 and not much bigger than you can legally build today without a permit in most counties. For the Chainsaw cabin while it is only 10 x 12 with a sleeping/storage loft. So if you are staying for a night or two at least you will have separate work, living & sleep areas.

In 1845 is cost the tiny home pioneer $28.12 to build his modest abode. With inflation that comes in at $962.80 in today’s shrinking dollars. That is our goal to build our small structure with doors, windows and roofing for less adjusting for inflation than Henry did many years ago.
