Another day and every ones nose stuck to the stone of grind.

Prodigious amounts of work done. 

I cannot believe how much wood has gone through the team this week.

The student has been multi tasking like nothing on earth and between us all we have cut chopped whacked and stacked rather a lot of wood. She has worked herself like nothing on earth, we have all done work.
 

Out woodman is on home turf this next few weeks, I need to cement him to an outcome - another 12 bundles lets make it 18, sheet them down and cut them eventually .

Here is where the situation has changed, 2 years ago he was asking me to come and get his wood, this year I am trying to pin him down.

That said I was paying 20 pounds a cord for slab  wood, nearly 20 years ago.

Today I pay 30 pounds for the same amount of wood, except more of it goes for firewood as the return is better. So 20 years ago it was a bundle of bark and now it;s approaching usable   

The wood we are cutting now is typically about 25% moist so close to being burnable but not quite.

With that being before we dry it a while.

Oh no, the really dry stuff is behind a 6 foot wall of what we just cut,  great!!!!

Mid winter and freezing we have a stock of very dry wood.
