Regarding hand hewn log and/or timber structures I would recommend Jack A Sobon's book Build a Classic Timber Frame. It has a good section on hewing, tools, etc. In addition check out Charles McRaven's book about the Hewn Dovetail Log House. I think they are both put out by Chelsea Green Publishing.
I am not aware of "hewing" furniture but would suppose that you mean "riving" furniture which utilises a froe to split the wood into workable pieces for chairs, tables, etc.
I would recommend Roy Underhill books and also a book titled Make a Chair From a Tree. I also noticed on the Carpenters Fellowship website:
www.carpentersfellowship.co.uk has a book describing "green wood crafts" and such.
Try googling Green Woodworking books.
