Shelby's Firewood Cathedral

🪵 Firewood ProcessingMost creative storage

Shelby from Dahlonega, Georgia stacks her firewood in an elaborate arched structure she calls 'The Cathedral' — a freestanding, self-supporting stack shaped like a Gothic window, eight feet tall and twelve feet wide. No nails, no brackets, just precision-split wood interlocked by gravity and geometry. She rebuilds it every fall and it has become a local landmark.
