Making a Walnut Shelf Unit and Spalted Birch Drawer Fronts for the Kitchen in my Off Grid Log Cabin

What s been a construction site for the past two years is now a home, and the addition of another bookcase/storage unit, an upper cabinet in the kitchen and drawer fronts for the lower cabinet make it feel more comfortable and finished. I also wrap the front porch columns with aluminum, a simple aesthetic feature that will be easy to adjust as the cabin settles and the post heights lower. I m slowly eating my way through the freezer full of venison, bear and pork, cooking it in cast iron on the wood stove, which is burning 24/7 at this time of year. Soon, spring temperatures will encourage me to transfer most of my cooking to the outdoor fire pit and the summer kitchen, which I ll start building in the next couple of weeks. In preparation of moving the icebox into the breezeway, I clean it with soap and vinegar, although most of my food is stored in the root cellar at this time of year. With spring seasons approaching, I am practicing shooting my longbow daily so that when the opportunity arrives, I can fill the freezer back up with bear and turkey.
