Firewood 2022

I spent the last couple of weeks getting next Winter’s firewood sorted. I found five trees, four alders and a dogwood that were standing but dead so I felled them. I also had some wild cherry and hemlock rounds that I bucked last Fall under a tarp in the woods. After splitting and stacking them I ended up with 2 cords of wood – a pile 8 feet x 8 feet x 4 feet. We heat our house with a wood stove and if our Winter is relatively normal that should get us comfortably through the cold.

Finished Chairs

I finished the chairs today and they have joined the table. A fun and interesting project but that may be it for chairs for a while (though I did just find another interesting design that might become a Fall project). Next on the list – fruit tree pruning and then next year’s firewood.
