NEWS: 04/03/2018 - Temporary closure to clear backlog
The cutting season is almost over. I have been cutting quite a bit of hazel and sweet chestnut. I have a pretty full order book already going right through until June 2018, for this reason I am sorry to say I won't be taking any new orders, so long as this message remains up. This will enable me to catch up properly and finish various projects which I have committed to.
Please feel free to contact me though, but be aware I am not taking on any new orders for now. Thank you.
Please bear with me email wise (if you are already awaiting a reply), I am trying to get through emails AND do the cutting and deliveries so I may be a bit slower than normal on my response times - apologies.
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!
