If you have more wood than you know what to do with and the time to collect it, I see no reason why you couldn't generate home electricity with a steam engine turning a generator.
Especially if you design it so that you make use of the waste heat to heat the house and water etc.
Even cook!
(As a South African I love a braai. That's a barbecue using wood coals to 'braai' meat etc, giving it a delicious smokey flavour.
Nothing tastes better!
)
From what I can see here; you are more than capable of making a very good and efficient steam engine if the mood takes you.
Very nice work!
(Interesting that they seem to need mufflers!? A condenser (radiator) may be the ticket?)
As for getting to town and back on heat engine (wood) power I would say that an 'home charged' EV is probably your best bet..?
As there's a lot of water in the lubricating oil of steam engines it occurs to me that Boric Acid (in said oil) is likely a great idea.
There's plenty of links (and argument) on it all from around here onward:
