Coppice Products : from sustainably managed coppiced woodland in Hampshire

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.

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.

It is worth noting that sweet chestnut makes an excellent firewood when properly seasoned but is best used in stoves and log burners because it has a tendency to spit and throw embers.
I also sell a limited amount of charcoal each year in 3kg bags - see my charcoal page
