15% off at www.cottagecoppicing.co.uk In the winter of 2011, I was recuperating from a dog bite I received while working in my then-dog-walking and pet-sitting business. With a shared interes
t in the outdoors, my dad invited me to spend a couple of days with him in an NRW woodland that he was restoring into a working hazel coppice. I was hooked! What is coppicing? You can find out more here. https://www.cottagecoppicing.co.uk/what-is-coppicing
After the first winter, the idea of making products to sell bore out of hate of waste and ever-increasing piles of wood! Fast forward 14 years, and I now spend my winters restoring a local 9-acre ancient semi-natural woodland and the rest of the year in my industrial unit making the products you find in my shop. I make everything. Self-taught, or should I say ‘Dad-taught,’ I took to woodworking and wished I’d taken it up earlier. Sustainability is important to me. All the wood used in my work is from sustainable sources or FSC-certified businesses (Forest Stewardship Council). I coppice the round wood such as hazel, ash, and cherry myself in the woodland I manage. I occasionally buy in branch wood from local tree surgeons from small garden jobs. I use ash and oak timber from my local timber yard, Wentwood Timber Centre, and American white oak or beech from FSC-certified Mon Timber Supplies. For the most part, I can tell you exactly which woodland the item you purchased initially came from. If made from hazel, I can practically take you to the tree! While practical, my products are bought emotionally; customers love a piece that resonates with them. Knowing the history of the work is part of that love affair. Even the elements I make from bought-in timber have a history; the local timber yard will know the woodland it came from or the country of origin. Collaboration
I love working with other local businesses. All my personalised products are engraved by a beautiful local company, Bespoke Laser UK. View my work. Please take a look through my shop - new products get added regularly. https://www.cottagecoppicing.co.uk/
