Phil's month in the wood
DECEMBER 2011
December has been a busy time in the woods with orders coming in for Hedging binders and stakes.
I have completed a coupe at Ravenshill and have almost completed two other coupes.
The images above are of our first burn in the new charcaol kiln
We assembled in the pitch dark at 6 oclock in the morning.It took a long while for the burn to take hold..
I have since built a new temporary workshop housing cleaving breaks,shave horses and a pole lathe. I use this as a shelter whilst producing our coppiced products such as yurt poles and kindling. Pictured below is a recent visitor

All my Popular and Aspen is now turned into kindling which will be marketed in local outlets.
