I am now out of all hazel product for this year until October (when I start cutting again)
I do have some larger chestnut product left - all out of 50mm-90mm diameter chestnut poles though, apologies.
If you have any orders which can be fulfilled from October onward, it could be a good idea to book in with me early to avoid disappointment as my order book is growing year on year now.
I am also very pleased to say that I have added Ken Galton's details to my site, who is very possibly Hampshire's longest standing hazel hurdle maker! 02392 210375 / 07586 446750 (leave a message for him to call you back) pictures to follow!
Important Note: Coppicing is seasonal, the wood I cut from hazel and sweet chestnut coppice (copse) is all coppiced during the winter months as this is when the sap is down and the quality of the wood is best, especially if it is to be used for outdoor projects, it also fits around wildlife cycles and maximises the regeneration of the copse during the summer growing season. This also means that I can only hold a certain level of stock as I generally sell most of it during the late winter/early spring months. If you are after quantities of hazel binders for woven fencing, for example, or chestnut poles or chestnut stakes the best time to contact me is from September through until February to place your order otherwise I may not be able to help you until the next cutting season. Though it is always worth checking with me to see what I have available.
So if you have spring or summer projects you wish to plan for, get your order in during winter to be sure I can supply!
