The coppice group on facebook might be a place to ask  about hazel coppice/ cutting locations etc. Some interesting infos on there about coppicing.

Yep. All SoE. Do more of that than anything else.

Grand. I have one to do later this month and think SoE would be more appropriate style

This is the current work in progress. I should have taken a photo before starting really, I've taken out a load tangled and mangled Hawthorn of 20-30ft. Slow progress.

I always forget to take "before" pictures. It's only since being on here really that I've got into the habit of taking after ones. I've always been bad for remembering to take pics. It's finish up, draw the money and clear off to the next one. 

Thanks to Arbtalk I've now got a decent portfolio for a website. (Something else I should have sorted out years ago...)

Our second lockdown hedge, most of the thorn is dead, was very thin at some point as full of rails, but now mainly blackthorn. Mrs OG is my gopher and keeps me up to the grind stone!

Will post some finished pictures but can,t see it due to the pile of waste.

How much of a sin is it to allow/cause the pleacher to split into the ground rather than bend over without splitting?
