Making a saw buck and cutting firewood with hand tools

Tis the season for firewood! When cutting firewood with hand tools, we have come to prefer smaller trees from where the forest needs thinning and a small frame saw. The comparative effort and work load is so much more enjoyable than cutting many time through a large log with a larger crosscut saw, then needing to split each round into many smaller pieces. These small trees cut up super fast and easy, are light and simple to transport and stack up for drying, just many advantages. For tree sections up to 10 inches or so, a frame saw will be much faster and easier to use than a larger crosscut saw, in our experience. We normally burn wood to heat and cook in russian style masonry heaters, so the short and slim pieces are ideal.

The timber frame firewood shed was built by our last class here on the homestead, they did a great job!
