Norwegian Wood (Revised, Expanded, and Updated Edition) (Chopping, Stacking, and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way)

An updated and expanded edition of perennial bestseller Norwegian Wood by Lars Mytting, with 64 pages of new content

“You don’t need to have a wood-burning stove or fireplace to be captivated by the craft and lore surrounding a Stone Age method of creating heat.”—Boston Globe

Chopping and stacking wood is a pastime where the world makes sense once more. Because our relationship to fire is so ancient, so universal, it seems that in learning about wood, you can also learn about life.

In Scandinavia, the extreme climate has obliged generations to hone and share their skills with tools, wood, and heat production. Lars Mytting has distilled the wisdom of enthusiasts, from experienced lifelong growers, stackers and burners to researchers and professionals of combustion and tree culture – and also from among his vast international readership.

Part guide to the best practice in every aspect of working with this renewable energy source, part meditation on the human instinct for survival, Norwegian Wood now includes new material on clean-burning practices and a chapter on building a campfire in any conditions, based on the Sámi tradition. This definitive handbook on the art of chopping, stacking and drying wood has resonated across the world, with more than a million copies sold.

Chapters include:

• The Cold
• The Forest
• The Tools
• The Chopping Block
• The Woodpile
• The Seasoning
• The Stove
• The Fire
• The Campfire
