NEWS: 18/07/2020 - Temporary Order closure still in effect . except for firewood locally.
Sorry folks, I still seem to be running at a backlog and all my attempts to stem the flow of new orders seems to be a bit in vain, so until further notice I am simply trying to avoid any new orders coming my way. It's obviously very positive business wise and shows the demand is out there, which is fantastic! but I never wanted to get into a situation where I have to start employing people and over extending in volume so I am still a one man band enterprise (with assistance as needed) and I really don't want to be letting anybody down through delay issues.
Covid-19:
The pandemic has affected me in various ways, shows/course etc cancelled and installation orders put back. This means in some respects I am not much further in terms of clearing backlog as I was in March, though some farm orders for posts and fencing etc have tided me over a bit.
Current stock:
It is that time of year right now where I am only reliant, stock wise, on what I cut last winter.
I am out of all Hazel produce for now, sorry, I should have new supply come the cutting season in October onward.
I have limited sweet chestnut stock left now, really only small orders of 4"/5" poles up to 8ft long can be considered. I should have new supply come the cutting season in October onward.
Firewood/kindling: (Good news!)
I have plenty of seasoned and unseasoned cordwood, splitting billets, and split firewood (sweet chestnut) which I am happy to sell locally and can do reduced prices for quantities over 2cubic metre - The legislation changes for selling 'ready to burn firewood' sub 20%moisture will affect my situation come 2022 (it will mean prices have to go up potentially considerably as I join the 'woodsure' scheme (mandatory for selling firweood,). So if you have the space, now is the time to stock up!. Please do contact me with any questions on this.

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!
