Norwegian wood : chopping, stacking, and drying wood the Scandinavian way / Lars Mytting ; with a foreword by Roy Jacobsen ; translated from the Norwegian by Robert Ferguson.
Building a fire to warm your home is incredibly satisfying. Splitting logs, stacking and seasoning the wood, and then building a fire is the height of self-sufficiency. Norwegian Wood is a practical and inspiring book that teaches you how to do all of those things. A runaway best-seller in Europe, the book provides in-depth information about tree types, wood-stacking methods, tools, and stoves; it also examines the history of man's longstanding need for warmth and his passion for open fire.
