Color: Forest #8 Cotton Canvas

The firewood carrier that Tom made for his dad and friends back in the mid-1970's. Made out of cotton canvas. Only available during the holidays.

Description

Back in the mid 1970’s, I made a firewood carrier for my father and a couple extras for friends. The design was nothing new or revolutionary, but it did its job: schlepping 3-5 firewood logs from the woodshed to the hearth. 

When my father passed away in 2016, I inherited the original carrier I had made all those years before. Now, over 40 years later, I use the thing almost daily in the winter months. It’s stood the test of time thanks in part to its simplicity: it’s a simple wrap with no ends so it can accommodate longer sticks of wood; definitely not a tote bag, there’s no zippers, there's no phone pockets, no overthinking. Yes, you can put your 15" MacBook Pro in the Firewood Carrier, but we guarantee it’ll fall out, plus you might forget and toss it in the wood stove.

Darcy posted a photo of the original firewood carrier on Instagram and a few people asked us if we’d offer it someday — so here it is. Just like the original version it’s made of heavy cotton canvas — a material I’ve been re-learning recently. Cotton canvas isn’t as durable and doesn’t wear as well as the ballistic nylon and other fabrics we use, but it’s got a rustic “cabin” aesthetic and is perfect for a firewood carrier. 

You may be wondering: is this Firewood Carrier useful for carrying anything other than firewood? Answer: no.... unless what you carry in it can hold on for the ride.

    firewood carrier

    I move a lot of firewood every winter, and always moved it by hand into the house. Getting a firewood carrier never crossed my mind--luckily I stumbled upon the TB firewood carrier and it's seriously changed my life for the better. Heating my home has never been easier 😊

    Makes moving firewood easy

    Was tired of just picking up armloads of firewood every time we wanted to have a fire. Got this hoping it would make the job a little easier and cleaner. It does. What more can be said? (Besides that it looks good and it very well constructed of course.)

    Just perfect!

    We already have a leather wood carrier with a very similar design, but like all Tom Bihn creations, this wood carrier has a spirit to it that reveals itself through use. It’s just nicer, sturdier, and more pleasing to use than the one we had.
