Log Cabin Fever

I made this while at my parents home, on my mom's old Singer machine that was hardly ever used! It was a good way to pass the time, while taking care of my ailing father. I quilted it while there, and gave it to him.
This poor log doesn't want to cross over to the other side! LOL...I bet when all the gates are open it'll sail through and be so happy to be unstuck!! I think I can relate that to some of my life experiences!! LOL...have a great day everyone! :)
When Sammy and I were first married, we bought a funky little house out in the country in Connecticut and spent every cent we had to buy it, leaving nothing for such luxuries as furniture, lamps, etc. So, I decided to try making some lamps from logs that I dug out of the wood pile out back. This is one of several that I made over 50 years ago, and all of them are still in use around the house.
This is for Macro Mondays; the topic is Lamp.
This log that bears the stamp "M" of the Morrison family is estimated to be >3000 years old.

This article from ABC local Radio Tasmania well describes Morrison's Mill at Strahan. Huon Pine Salvage
When Brendan Morrison stands on the southern shore of Macquarie Harbour, he is in a dangerously exposed spot, 40km from civilisation on the fringe of a World Heritage area. He is sometimes there alone, but steps carefully and comfortably in his family's adventuresome footsteps.
He is the fourth generation of his Strahan family to work with the prized timber and has one of only two Huon pine salvage licences for the huge Macquarie Harbour shoreline; work that recalls the unique culture of Huon pining on Tasmania's west coast.
The cutting of live Huon pine was stopped in the 1960s, after nearly a century of a culture that saw bushmen rowing wooden dinghies, or punts, up the beautiful Gordon River to find the trees which are unique to south west Tasmania.
The selectively felled sawlogs, prized for shipbuilding, were wrangled into the water, lumberjack style, bound together and towed back to Strahan as huge log-rafts.
The Morrison brothers, Reg, Ron and Roy, were renowned as pioneering bushmen, even within that intrepid tradition. They once rowed a wooden punt several miles up the notoriously wild Franklin River, hauling their boat around rapids and sometimes over cliffs and ridges. On the return journey they rode the Franklin's now world famous rapids, in that same wooden dinghy.
Though weather forecasting has made it a safer voyage across Macquarie Harbour, getting caught in a north-west blow would mean confronting wind-waves up to two metres high whilst loaded with logs.
There are only two licenses to salvage Huon pine that flows out of the river system where it grows best. Forestry Tasmania has one and Mr Morrison the other.
"Sometimes I'll just 'go for a drive' up the Gordon because the reflections up there in the very still weather that I work in are just phenomenal. Pretty special." Brendan Morrison
That doesn't necessarily mean that Mr Morrison is the only individual who takes pine from Macquarie Harbour though. Poaching of the timber has been an issue to varying degrees in the decades since the tree was protected.
"Only about 12 months ago I found a little stash of about eight logs in Farm Cove," Mr Morrison said.
"They were pulled up into the bush. Someone else came across them and let me know they were there so I went and salvaged them before they went elsewhere."
Mr Morrison acknowledges that there will always be a little bit of pine stolen and often by locals who feel some sense of entitlement to the timber once cut by families and once freely available.
He has himself come across logs stamped with the Morrison brand that would have been cut by his great uncles more than 50 years ago.
Pining in the past, a dangerous and romantic job. The original pining gangs were part of a dangerous but, in retrospect, romantic occupation. They built simple huts on the banks of the Gordon River and often several kilometres further up in tributary rivers and creeks.
The straightest trees, usually sought for shipbuilding, were often felled and moved close to river and creek banks ready to be flushed downstream by winter flooding.
The logs were branded, like cattle, by the individual piners hammering a branded iron into the cut end of the log to leave an impression.
Piners would gather at a slow bend on the lower Gordon River they called the 'boom camp' after the floating catch-all line they ran across the river to corral the logs as they floated down with the current.
The brands allowed each piner to determine which logs were their own and these were then joined with steel cable to form rafts that could be towed, very, very slowly back to Strahan.
The peak time for the industry was in the 1930s. Men would think nothing of working waist deep in cold water all day and camping each night for weeks and months at a time.
Brendan Morrison's trips to salvage timber in the 21st century typically involve staying out for one night, usually in one of a number of shelter huts in the area that began life as pining camps.
"I often stay at the Kelly Basin hut, Reindeer Lodge. I stayed in the Narrows Hut in Birches Inlet this last trip and occasionally at the boom camp on the Gordon," Mr Morrison said.
"Sometimes I'll just 'go for a drive' up the Gordon because the reflections up there in the very still weather that I work in are just phenomenal. Pretty special."
These days the Gordon River itself is a World Heritage area and no log salvage is allowed beyond the shorelines right at the mouth, where the river meets Macquarie Harbour.
The salvaged timber can be manhandled onto the barge, bigger pieces need to be carefully loaded with the aid of a small crane attached to the boat.
Most of the timber Mr Morrison finds is best suited to being milled and otherwise cut for craft use and is sold through the family's sawmill right on the main wharf in Strahan.
While looking for birds, and only finding a few, I found these turtles, out getting a bit of sun. But only a bit.
Top done Nov. 2008. Much of the fabric for blocks were from a 10 inch square fabric swap at About.com in 2003 (yeah, I couldn't believe it was that long ago either!). The swap was restricted to green, brick red, gold and beige/tan. Queen sized quilt 82x95 inches. This quilt will have a double batting, flannel backing and will be tied. Pieces cut using Shar Jorgensen's Log Cabin templates.
A friend of mine, Carmen, manages to stay still for 5 seconds during a long exposure. Shot on Pangkor Island, Malaysia, with an Olympus E-P3 camera, M. Zuiko 12mm f2.0 lens and a 10-stop B+W ND 3.0 filter.
This little retaining wall was built from a cedar tree that fell on the property. It is helping to shore up an edible hugelkultur bed above.
At one time a logging railroad was built into the woods on this site. It was pretty common around here a century ago for rails to be run for logging operations. First animals were used to drag logs, then steam powered Donkey Engines. There were some rails made of logs with big flanged wheels, using farm tractors to pull them. Then they used steel rails and in the end, regular trucks were used, as they do today.
This path is now the trail to Squires Lake Park, which is several hundred feet above the road.

Pattern:Log Cabin Socks from handknit Holidays.
Yarn:Acrylic yarn in grey
Needles:US 5
I started these socks way, way back in December, and only finished them now. Too bad it's like 90 degrees outside right now. Let's just say I won't be wearing these for awhile.
These socks are a relatively easy knit, and I throughly enjoyed this pattern. I did however make some minor mistakes on the cable pattern, but there not that noticeable.
A guardrail located in the Rocky Mountains, a visitor log for everyone that has passed through the region.
When it all goes wrong head to Kirkby Stephen and find some freight!
A frustrating day driving to Shap to not see 70000 Britannia, but 70812 on 6J37 puts on a nice sight at Wharton on the Settle and Carlisle. 22 fully loaded wagons on the drawbar, 'the Chirk Logs' makes its way up the hill towards Ais Gill.

This log is visible only at early morning low tide, it seats at the bottom during high tide and is about a 100 meters away from shore.
