Seasoning split logs
Today the Fongw team split up into two groups to collect and prepare logs for sale in winter.
One team cut up and collected logs from dead tree trunks that had been laying seasoning on the ground for a while within the woods.

The other team used a log splitter to divide the logs into suitable sizes.

Gloves and safety goggles were worn for protection throughout the procedure.

Once the logs were reduced to suitable sizes for burning, they were carefully stacked undercover in the wood store, allowing for airflow. These will then dry out, seasoning throughout the summer and autumn ready for sale during the winter months.
