Swedish allemänsratten give people quite extensive rights to exploit forests, even on private property. You are correct that cutting trees and collecting firewood are explicitly excluded from this in theory, but in practice, since the OP lives in a very rural, forested area and is presumably collecting wood from fallen trees instead of actively cutting them down, nobody will give a shit. Even if they did, it would be some kind of environmental violation, not "theft".
