Pictures of pots are always nice to post. Especially if you've had a great firing. The reality of wood firing is a lot of cutting, splitting and stacking wood. The chainsaw, wood splitter and wheel barrow have been in my hands this week. It has been a race with winter. Winter has held off longer than usual, but it is not timid and will make an entrance any day now.
The saw mill had some good wood for me this year and was able to get all the wood I need for next years firing. There are two kinds of wood, the slab wood, and edgings.
The edgings are the skinny pieces that we use for sidestoking at the end of the firing.
Well must go before winter sets in.

Nice wood. Is this just for your kiln or is some for heating you?
Claudia; Just for the kiln. Having the wood all ready to go, makes me want to make pots. Cures a lot of anxiety.
Cheers,

How long do you let it dry before using it?
Drighten: The slab wood, we dry for a least a year. The edgings( the skinny wood) six months to a year. I have enough wood storage for two firings, which isn't really enough. I'm trying to find a good solution to store more.
