It's wood day in Norway.

It's wood day- they televise wood chopping/stacking competitions, and celebrate wood. Here's a stack with the king and queen by Ole Kristian Kjelling

I love woodstack art.......I know it's been posted many times but this is one of my faves.....

I think the guy that did that one is Norwegian as well

You're probably right!
There's a big wood festival up in Ridgway, PA, next weekend. Carvers from all over the world will be there, it keeps getting bigger and bigger each year.......I would like to go up to it, but just too much going on here with the house project....

12 hour fireplace show was on last night. I almost can't stand the excitement.

Every day is wood day for me.I'm either cutting/splitting/stacking it for firewood,milling logs or building things from it in the shop or at a jobsite somewhere around here.

I love going to country shows with local arts and craftsmen, my buddy is a chainsaw carver and travels all over the country doing exhibitions and commissions, here is a link to his website, some great sculptures. -

its amazing that they found wood with ends "just the right color" to do such detailed work....simply amazing...especially the red for the neck tie...what species of wood is so red? Must be norwegian wood.

Some red with white polka dots
