About Hans Petter Musum
“I was born and raised in Snåsa (Trøndelag) and took my first log course in the 1990s. In the period 1999 to 2008 I worked for Øverbygg Håndlaft in Snåsa, before working at Byggskultur Røros from 2008 to 2012.

This gave me a taste for more, and this is probably where the interest in building protection and cultural heritage protection started. So in 2012 I moved to Kragerø with my significant other and started up for myself, and in the period 2013 to 2018 I have occasionally worked for Skjerkholt Naturlaft and Sollie Bygg. Today I work as a museum craftsman at Telemark Museum.

I have a certificate of apprenticeship in carpentry and in addition I took the first cohort of the postgraduate study “Introduction to building protection” at Fagskolen Innlandet, winter 2014-2015.

From 2017 onwards, I have also participated as an instructor and participant in a number of courses around Agder as well as in Vestfold and Telemark, in lafting, stepping works, and sticking/laying of hand-cut roof cuttings. Laft is what I’ve been working on the longest, but I enjoy working with most things that have to do with woodworking, restoration and restoration.”
