I believe that there is a contemporary text detailing the use of green wood
for smelting iron in Scandanavia in "Ole Evanstad" by Arne Espalund. I
don't have any other details of the book.
There is a translation of the original text in Historical Metallurgy Vol 2
No2 pp61-65. I have another translation that I received privately from Arne
Espalund.
