Inspired by a pile of wood.

There is something satisfying about a neatly stacked pile of timber all cut to the same length.
Traditionally, timber like this would be sold by the cord. This would be a neat pile of logs four feet in length, piled four feet high and eight feet long.
Our dad would buy a lorry load of timber measured on cords. Every evening he would be sawing it into smaller logs ready to burn on our open fires. No fancy gym kit needed for him!
