weaving a hazel fence in the cold

[gobcutter]

Hi all.

 

Got a continuous woven hazel fence to do. Got all the stakes in last Friday but been held up by the snow and below zero conditions in eastanglia. I plan to try and get to the job tomorow but wondering what advice anyone has about weaving hazel in this cold. Does the cold make the rods brittle or more rigid to bend or have any adverse effects on the final product. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Many thanks:001_smile:

I've been making hazel hurdles in the recent cold weather. No major problems, the biggest issue I had was that my hands were numb which made twisting the round rods a bit more difficult (and I snapped the odd one).

Thanks Rob

 

I really appreciated reading your reply yesterday. I had a good day weaving, got more done than I hoped too.

Cheers
