NEWS: 07/03/2021 - Temporary Order closure still in effect
Almost there but still behind!, 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. That said if you are local(ish) and have a simple order for collection or delivery then it is worth contacting me and I will do my best.
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. If you do order and collect, then please obey current Covid Government directives, thanks.
Current stock:
I am coppicing sweet chestnut and some quality hazel coppice so I can supply some new orders ideally if local to PO9 area and thereabouts, but I still have lots of back orders to fill. have plenty of hazel product and limited supply left of winter cut chestnut.
I don't have any stock presently of 3"/4"/5" poles, sorry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
