Some firewood (two rows) under our woodshed (still under the old partly leaking roof). Some leftover wood blanks that I still need to hand split and a few leftover pieces of sapwood from the already splitted spelts.
The sapwood scraps I'll cut into firewood pieces. (60-80cm for the big oven and 30-40cm for the smaller stove)

Some beautiful red wood in this cinnamon tree. I feel bad not being ready to make something more lasting than firewood out of some of this.. The art teacher carved a head out of a big section of Magnolia last year but doesn't need a big chunk of cinammon this year. I should try to find the family that does workshops to make wooden spoons with all sorts of different woods, They had neat stuff on display at the Kagoshima Organic festival. One day I'll have to get set up for wood working. I wonder how cinnamon does on a lathe? Makiing one of those two-ringed rattles out of this wood would smell nice. The little parking area smells of cinnamon now. It is a lot of work to split. Usually I can put the ax in the middle of a section then work the split with the hammer, but this wood just bounce the ax right back up. You can't go right for the center you have to split off flat sections from the outside and work your way around: precision practice to split the long, narrow pieces later... At one point the read wood made me feel like I was dressing a wild boar or something with red meat. Maybe the color and my feeling fooled the Silky hen that came over to help for a bit too, but it's probably the same hen that recently got a newt and worm feast right near the ax..

An 84 year old neighbor was working on getting rid of a big cinnamon tree and asked if I could use the wood, even if it's hard to split. It's great to get wood, no matter how hard to split, if somebody will cut it and drive it over to the house. I was happy to throw the sections on his truck then get more of a work out with the axe and hammer..

When the pixelfed.social site is town I remember my pixelfed.tokyo account: shorter captions and fewer photos, but quick!! Some of the neighbor's neat tools are named after birds: the long-beaked Crane Tsuru and the short curved beaked Tonbi...

An 84 year old guy stopped by to see if I'd take a cinnamon tree for the wood stove. On my bike, I followed his K-truck down the road a bit to his house to see a thick-trunked tree laid out and half sectioned already. At 84 he's secitioning 30kg or more of this trunk with chainsaws and old tools named after Cranes and Tonbi birds. He just wanted someone to get the sections onto the truck and take them. Cinnamon (camphor family) is hard to split so.. I got a workout. Lucky! #薪割り #SplittingWood

I, honest to god, love splitting wood. It’s like my favorite hobby. The Fiskars X25 splitting axe is the bomb by the way. If you split wood, buy one. #nothisisnotanad #splittingwood
