Cutting Wood

Since we burn mostly wood in our Sedore we need to prepare for the winter by cutting wood in the summer. We had a providential event here a few months ago. One of our large locust trees that was growing at an angle on our hill fell down without obvious intervention. I was outside and heard what sounded like gunshots on my hill. I was quite curious but saw no one and no evidence of any activity. I kept looking and the shots kept getting louder and more rapid. Suddenly as I was about to investigate the firing turned to the cracking of splitting timber. A 70 foot locust tree dropped down 20 feet above my log pile. The sounds I heard were the roots popping as they snapped intermittently beneath the ground.
I haven't been able to get to cutting up the tree until this weekend, as I do not have a good working chainsaw at the moment and needed some help. Locust is very dense/hard wood, which not all chainsaws can handle. It burns hot and long so is a desirable fuel for the colder months.
The tree is now cut into sections and will be split and loaded onto my woodpile in the next few weeks.

New Website

We are up and live with our new website. It is much more user-friendly and has access to all the pertinent information. Thanks to Jacob Lamont our web designer for doing a great job. If you are interested in contacting him about a project let us know and we will put you in touch.

New website is almost up. We are excited and looking forward to the new site. Hopefully you readers will find it more pleasing to the eye with the information better organized and more easily accessible.
Also we are now on facebook as vision stone stoves and on twitter as visionstone so if you are either of those sites feel free to stop by and check out the pages.
