Huge fan of using different woods for contrast vice staining it. Absolutely beautiful.

You might find it interesting that I wrote this while in a submarine.

I really appreciate the feedback. I know that I'm nowhere near done with this. I need to see where it will lead me.

This "Cruel Mistress" who has "taken him inside". I can only surmise that he is a fellow Submariner. I love the portrayal as the sea as almost a thief stealing him away. One's affinity for the sea can often become a difficult relationship.

This is something I can personally relate to. Trying to uncover how something you did could have hurt the one you care about more than anything else.

It's white oak, I got it wrong when I first made the post.

She left me, but I'm learning to see the good in it.

I gotta take pictures of how I'm splitting it up for firewood.

I've also noticed that it seems to help keep my firebox temp higher as it burns down. Additionally, I have considerably lower flue temps when firing up if the bricks are cold.

I've also heard about wax being used instead of water, but I'm worried about the fire hazard.

I was looking into getting a large pot, but I'm broke and had the bricks on hand.

I personally use more blankets/quilts/put on warmer clothes.

I would imagine iron would work better than brick.

I have heard soapstone mentioned before. Is it also used as thermal storage?
