Norwegian Wood: Chopping, Stacking, and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way
Norwegian Wood: Chopping, Stacking, and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way
$29.99
By Lars Mytting
Norwegian Wood is a full-color practical book about the art and craft of handling wood for heating. It provides useful advice on the hows and whys of taking care of your heating needs, but it’s also a thoughtful attempt to understand man’s age-old predilection for stacking wood and passion for open fires.
The author writes, “The factual material in this book represents the distilled wisdom of encounters with people who are passionate about wood, enthusiasts as well as professional researchers. I have benefitted greatly from my conversations with experts in the fields of combustion and silviculture. . . . Along the way I’ve tried out most of the techniques I’ve been introduced to. I’ve dried finely chopped oak in our kitchen oven, struggled to build a beehive woodpile, miscalculated the trajectory of a felled pine. And I’ve been on a quest to discover the soul of the wood fire.” With his help, you’ll begin your quest to discover the joys of wood and wood fire.
