We need a stove.

With the weather now getting colder, especially the nights, our aim to buy a stove have gone up a gear. My first call to Limekiln Chandlers to enquire about the Morso Squirrel. None in stock and they might get a delivery this Wednesday? He sells them as quick as they come in at this time of year!

The tiling and fire surround are complete. Just need a stove.

The area marked out is the size of the stove. Do we need a bigger hearth?

The oak is looking good with the Osmo oil. One major issue is where we previously used Osmo 'Raw', we will have to sand it all back to bare wood. A bit of unplanned work but when we oiled over the 'Raw', the satin just would not soak into the oak leaving it bland and washed out. The knots and grain were 'hidden'.

The pictures below show how the oak looks with Osmo 'Satin. Looks good!

Close up oak detail.

All looking good but we need a stove.
