Hazel wanted for chair making

[bofh]

Hi folks I wonder if anyone can help. I'd like to have a little go at making a bentwood garden chair or two.

 

I'm after the following sizes but will settle for something close.

 

15x 1/2" x 8'

3x 1" x 8'

2x 3" x 6'

 

Can anyone help? I will collect from you as long as you're not too far, I'm based in north Kent

 

Thanks.

I know hazel can be whippy but I think you're being a bit optimistic looking for 8' lengths of 1/2" stuff.

However in December I'm going to be re-coppicing 3 hazels in Oxted that have 8-10 years' regrowth. If you can wait a few weeks I should be able to grab what you're after - but you'll need to be paring down the 1/2" whips from something bigger.
