buying coppice

[wood cooker]

Dose any body buy coppice any more or do you think you can't make it pay if you have to have to buy it manly hazel coppice I'm talking about if you do still buy it how much do you pay and how big an area do you think makes it worth it is there even that much good coppice out there now.

i have a large area of hazel do not do it full time wish i could but use it for getting hedgelaying material. want to start making charcoal, faggots.

depends if wood is old and neglected if so there would be a lot of wood you could not use for hurdles, faggots and binders but good for charcoal and stakes.

you may find a wood landowner would be happy for you to manage wood. but would want to see a workplan and references

Do people still use faggots up your way we do a lot of hedging stakes. Some spars most of are wood goes for Charcoal. I was just wounded if any one could pay for coppice and still make a wage from it

faggots are used a lot for river bank inprovments. get all my stakes and binders.

larger hazel use for firewood or charcoal. so much you can get from a hazel wood if you can do it. make chairs and seats. list goes on need to sort out doing charcoal this year. as for making a living know a few old boys who can and do make a living from coppicing. its getting a name for the products you do.

good hurdle maker can make a hurdle in 2 hours. its having material ready to go. so its the time getting it splitting it making stakes to start them. guy i know cuts 2 acres at a time and takes back to his shed to make all the things he does
