Coppice Products : from sustainably managed coppiced woodland in Hampshire
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWS: 21/08/2021 - Temporary Order closure still in effect
Current stock:
I intend to start coppicing hazel come the end of September so by all means place order for stakes and binders etc now. I currently have limited stock of some chestnut, though it appears as though I may not be able to complete the final stage fell of the chestnut coppice this year - due to a rare bat survey. This leaves me in an possible situation where I may only be able to offer limited chestnut produce going through into next year. Though I am taking steps to secure more, watch this space and thanks for your continued patience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coppicing is a seasonal activity, cutting is done in the winter months so to best ensure availability it is worth planning those summer projects well in advance and ordering larger requests (eg 300 hazel rods for weaving or 50m of post and rail chestnut) during the winter months. I hold as much stock as I can into the summer but often run short, focusing then on the pergola builds and othercalendar booked projects.
It is worth mentioning here that if you are much further afield than Hampshire, I'd suggest looking at http://coppice-products.co.uk/ in order to help you get in touch with a more local coppice worker or green woodworker.
