Coppice Products : from sustainably managed coppiced woodland in Hampshire
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.
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 making the smaller, bespoke items.
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.

Firewood
For the most part my chestnut firewood is seasoned in the woods and split by hand using a maul, because of this I believe my pricing is incredibly competitive, this also means I only have a finite amount for sale each year so it is worth planning ahead and ordering early (August/September) to avoid disappointment! I am more than happy to sell fresh cut, unseasoned wood as well, for those wishing to season and/or split themselves, poa. Some other ideas....

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
