Willow coppice in Sussex area?

I don't have/never tried a  fancy pimp machine only used a woodmans grip.

 

Think  using pimp machines would make the process alot  more efficient and ergonomic.

 

 

 

Glossary of terms at end of this old 1956 FC   docu on hazel coppice & uses:

 

Quote

This bulletin presents the results of studies carried out on the rate of growth and
yield of coppices of the common hazel, and on the utilisation of hazel poles both
by traditional means and by modem technical processes. As hazel occupies over
160,000 acres of woodlands in Great Britain, its proper utilisation, where this is
economically feasible, is a matter of concern to owners of woodlands.

Would be interesting to know how much acres hazel  is left now compared to 1956.
