This picture shows a carefully stacked pile of firewood, consisting of split logs ready for use in the fireplace, wood stove or outdoor hearth. The freshly chopped wood shows the warm, natural wood texture, with the annual rings and grain beautifully visible. Firewood has been a sustainable source of energy for centuries and is still valued for its atmospheric and practical use in households and recreational settings.
The smell of dry wood and the resulting crackling fire make firewood a symbol of warmth, cosiness and sustainability. The process of splitting, drying and stacking wood is essential to ensure proper combustion. Well-dried wood, also known as firewood, ensures efficient heat output and minimal smoke.

This picture captures the essence of an ancient custom: collecting and using wood as a natural source of heat.
