Beautiful woodstacks


I do love a beautiful woodstack, I am always in awe of an interiors showing a fireplace with a beautifully built stack, and imagine how nice it would be to have all that nice dry wood  chopped and ready to stick on the fire.  We don't have enough room in our house for this, one winter I did manage to squeeze in a small one, it was great but I did use so much more wood, 'cause it was so easy (no trudging down to the garage to chop once a day) but a beautiful stack in the garden would do, just have to find the right place.  I haven't quite mastered the asthetics of stacking  but have the potential to be quite fussy about the whole thing.  Here are some pictures of woodstacks, and rooms, to envy/admire/dream of.

This is not fire wood, but I thought as an idea it would be really cool to make the woodstack in furniture, or gaps in furniture.

woodyness

I am off to the garden to chop up the logs left over from tree felling last week.  My friendly neighbour came round with a marvellous sharp axe for me to use this morning so I have no excuse.  Just procrastinating with a cup of tea and last nights left-overs, yum! and then I'm on to it.  So feeling a bit wood like I thought I would put in some recent photos taken of trees of one description and another.  I loved the spottyness of these wood wormy trunks, they looked almost animal skin-like.  Some great natural textures and patterns.
