I have prepared the ground for my Norwegian wood stack
(giraut.github.io)
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
Alas, neither a chair nor a rug in sight.
And now that song is stuck in my head.
Looks solid. Why not gaps between the tiles to allow for ventilation ?
Edit: forget I said it. Probably nothing compared to the space beween the logs
Make sure pieces of wood keep sloping down towards the outside by places any thicker side on the inside , and keep walls vertical. This will not be enough , eventually you'll need a row in the other direction to kept them angled correctly.
Only the outside row is nice , use straight pieces for that , the rest can just be tossed in the middle.

I'll do what I can: there isn't a single slice of trunk that isn't full of knots in my pile of wood. It's a real bitch to split with a maul: each one takes me over 10 minutes, and when I'm done, it's usually all crooked everywhere. So much so that I usually rework them with a hatchet when I'm running out of straight bits.
I don't know what it was with those trees... Perhaps it's because they were really old.
Yeah that's why you toss all the real wonky pieces not suitable for stacking in the mjddle

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
