About this product

Product Information

THE BRITISH BOOK INDUSTRY AWARDS NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016 Whether you're a seasoned woodcutter, or your passion is yet to be kindled, NORWEGIAN WOOD is the perfect fireside read, and an ideal seasonal gift. 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. And who better to impart this wisdom than an expert from Scandinavia, where 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. Part guide to the best practice in every aspect of working with this renewable energy source, part meditation on the human instinct for survival, this definitive handbook on the art of chopping, stacking and drying wood in the Scandinavian way has resonated across the world, with more than half a million copies sold worldwide. NORWEGIAN WOOD and THE NORWEGIAN WOOD ACTIVITY BOOK make the ultimate companion set.

Sadly the postman failed to deliver the first item sent, but the seller replied to my query quickly and sent a replacement item straight away. Can't really ask for more than that. Well packaged and the book received was brand new as described. Recommended seller. Many thanks.

    Informative, historical, easy read

    If you are someone who has an open fire, log burner or just interested in wood and logging, this is the book for you. It's great to curl up in front of the fire and read about the life of Norwegians past and present. Loads of tips on how to cut wood using axes, info about chainsaws and log-splitters etc It also talks about different stacking techniques, moisture content, best drying methods and which wood is best. There are also best output calculations. But what is best about this book is that it is so engaging. Didn't want to put down. Awesome read.

  • Most critical review

    tells you what you already know

    Not worth the money, anyone who cuts and burns wood will know most of what is in the book, He's telling us nothing thats not common sense, there is a lot of rubbish when to cut your wood down, when all you need to do is season (dry) it well. Wood is wood, you get out what you put in, Lb for Lb i.e. soft wood or hard wood It all burns much the same. I have 10 acres of woodland , if it leans over or fallen it goes on one the the 3 fires we have (2 stoves 1 open) pretty sure there are better books to read about country living

  • A really good read and faithful to it's title.

    If you are interested in all aspects of fire wood production literally from start to finish, this is a good read. If you just need a book , it also contains a good amount of detail on natural ageing of men, very delicately and with great observations...not quite from start, but right to finish. I would say a really good read aimed at those with a woodburner, but also more generally of interest to many.

  • Excellent

  • Its not just about wood.

    Full of facts regarding firewood, but taking a philosophical look at the culture of growing, cutting, seasoning and using firewood. From artistic and functional timber stacks, to explaining how all things have their season, including timber, and humans. Anybody who enjoys the process of being self reliant when it comes to heating their home with timber will love this book. There may be more purely practical books out there, but this is informative, entertaining, thoughtful, and enjoyable.
