#woodsplitting — Public Fediverse posts

Years ago I got into splitting wood at a friends place. They have one of those old big iron pot Japanese baths, a Goemon-Buro. You need a nice fire under there to heat the water. People say a fire-heated bath warms the body better than other types of bath. An on-line search had me watching videos from Finland of a famous wood splitter. With the wood set inside two tires like this he could step around splitting with nice rhythm. This saves a lot of time.

We've been in the process of getting a wood-burning stove (since Feb.) I hear the wood should all be harvested and chopped the winter before. The first year will just be learning I guess. It keeps me at home working out so might be good for nature and the body in some way. Gets me up clearing a grass roots group's orchard too. And I learn lessons: old wood is hard to split, always have an extra wedge. Do this before the summer heat and humidity. #WoodSplitting #Axe #Wedge #WoodBurningStove #薪割り
