| Log is the traditional building
material for a sauna. Hand cut logs with their uneven horizontal lines and
axe finished surface (piilutus) make the walls come alive. Add some
shadows from the trees near by and the light that is different each day of
the year, and you have a masterpiece made by nature.
The joints between the logs are never completely airtight. This is makes the air inside the sauna more pleasant to breathe. |
