Wood Fired Pain au Levain

Just posting up some results from my saturday wood fired bake. I did a pain au levain, running off of thoms country french but I increased the hydration a bit because my high extraction flour absorbs a lot of water due to a small bran content. I mill the flour myself and dont have a super fine sifter so the extra water gives quite an open structure. Comments and Questions are always welcome.

Your crumb looks fantastic.  It must be fun to bake outside, too.  Beautiful loaves.

I guess that's what you call "brick oven spring!"
