The chimney progress is leading us into our next phase of the cabin build. Gabriel purchased a braided rug from a local thrift store. The moment it was placed on the floor it changed the entire look and feel of the cabin. We had a major arctic blast with temps at 1 degree with negative windchills! WOW!
Solid white oak sourced from the farm gets cut and transformed into a beautiful, rough-cut, rustic mantel using fire, sanding tools, boiled linseed oil, and Howard Feed-n-Wax wood polish.
We spent the night in the cabin and had a great breakfast. We started work on the firebox because our goal is to have a fire in it by Christmas 2022. Did we set our goal too high?
