Coppice Products : from sustainably managed coppiced woodland in Hampshire
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWS: 22/04/2024 - Open for orders based on an order list, leadtime may be as long as 12 weeks presently
Current stock: - no hazel products other than beanpoles, very limited Sweet Chestnut stock left.
Overall limited- most of this year's cut produce is now earmarked to fulfil existing orders. This doesn't mean I can't take new orders for limited amounts of certain products, but will be unlikely to be able to accept new large orders for things like post and rail fencing, large orders of cleft stakes, large orders of poles etc.
Prices:
I am having to monitor the current prices carefully, given the current economic situation. Whilst I will make every effort to keep my prices low, I may have to increase prices directly in line with expenses accordingly. Thank you.

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 other calendar 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.
