Coppice Products : from sustainably managed coppiced woodland in Hampshire
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWS: 11/10/2024 - Open for limited orders based on an order list, leadtime may be as long as 16 weeks presently
Currently unable to accept any new large orders as order book is already full, apologies. But feel free to contact me as I may have some room for more come the new year. Can accept Hazel orders for limited amounts still.
Have just started the cuts on the sweet chestnut and the hazel, but already have orders which will take up most of what I'm cutting, that said smaller orders or things for into the new year may be do'able.
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.
