Good Wood

I was greeted on arriving at Tel Hai this morning by satisfyingly large stacks of nice-looking wood for the anagama firing [students started loading yesterday in between showers,and continued today]- the right length,clean, straight and split, not like the gnarled and/or monstrous pieces we usually seem to be dealing with. Firing scheduled for after Pesach [as are Sydney's and Meir's kilns- a wood-firing fiesta in store.]
