wambeeang wood Wambeeang Wood recycles renewable eucalyptus forests as sustainable firewood. We only use naturally f Wood is a naturally sustainable resource.

Especially when used with deference and respect to the local environment. We acknowledge the original caretakers of the local area [Gundungurra Nation] where we harvest ironbarks, stringy barks & other endemic eucalyptus species which fall in abundance on our private Southern Highlands forest & developing off-grid permaculture escape. Clearing excess tree fall is an essential part of responsible l

andcare where bushfire is at increased risk each year as our temperatures climb & prevailing conditions become more extreme. There is only so much which can be left where it falls to form habitat for the local wildlife & bleed back into the earth. And so we chop, chainsaw & mill trees to use ourselves & on sell any extra which we don't need. But you just might. We are situated west of Wombeyan Caves, NSW, Australia.

We stumbled upon this technique almost accidentally. There's a few Eucalypts too close to our main cabin in the bush which is ultimately a fire hazard. Sadly. As painful as it was, they had to be removed. Except they all came back from the dead as beautiful vibrant bonsais on amphetamines. Eucalypts have such incredible endurance & desire to live. Coppicing & pollarding is actually a super sustainable & traditional strategy for firewood production & a myriad of other purposes ie. using young branches for vertical garden weaving etc. Has anyone else tried this?

Want to create space and colour and harvest your own firewood? Coppicing trees and shrubs is well worth the effort

What better time than Easter for a bit of wood resurrection? This wknd we cut and collected fallen trees for a bonfire amongst friends & to build a Hugelkultur Bed. Yes, you can garden with chainsaws! No zombies necessary. Our beautiful hard wood has endless uses.

Like most of my neighbours I heat my home with wood. We have a slow combustion heater that does a decent job of keeping us warm on sub-zero nights, and we do our best to keep the fire burning as efficiently as possible. But I have to admit, getting quality fuel for the heater is an ongoing concern.

Sometimes it's good to stick out from the crowd... especially for Husqvarna action shots.

This Stringy Bark Eucalyptus brought down by winds was sliced & diced in Spring 2016 to cure & burn Winter 2017. Dave also isolated the straight base trunk for early hand-milling experiments.
