Thanks for a cool overview. I’m curious what type of milled wood you make your frames out of, and whether you ever make frames from larger hazel roundwood. My property here in Oregon, USA is absolutely riddled with our own native hazel trees called beaked hazel(nut) trees. I’ve been enjoying delving into some of the traditional uses for hazel in the UK and can’t wait to start coppicing and attempting projects like some panels for an outdoor shower. Thanks for your informative videos on the subject. Cheers!
Thanks so much. We use a pressure treated timber for the frames. I’ve also used roundwood, both hazel, sweet chestnut and Ash. They all do better with the bark removed. I did a project video ua-cam.com/video/rxzxmgMQTeE/v-deo.htmlsi=lFXQQLSj71eu1xl6
Thanks so much, I don’t put anything on the hurdles to preserve them, however I have done a recent video about what to use if you did want to preserve them. I have a video coming soon about how long the hurdles would last for. Hope that helps
Thank you so much. You could harvest all year but it’s certainly not something I’d recommend. For one the growing season is a time for the wildlife to enjoy the protection and cover, and also I feel the hazel has a better chance to recover from the cut when done in the dormant season. Another reason is if you harvest in the growing season the product is full of natural growth sugars and the bugs and fungi love it so it can rot much quicker. Hope that helps
I've just started watching your video work. Thanks in advance. I'm wondering what the wood type was that you made the 2x2 from? Is it the kind of lumber available at the lumber yard in 16ft lengths?
They blew over when very young and we’re left by the landowner because of the volume that were affected and they grew back wonky. They’re amazing aren’t they
I guess it would. We’ve got some at the woodland that are coming into their 10th year. I’ve never treated them. Admittedly they’re fragile but if the frame stays together the weave is usually fine too . Clear wood preservative some people use
I recommend clear wood preservative that’s oil based but linseed oil is a good suggestion too. Water based products are fairly useless at preserving fence materials. As for engine oil it would certainly preserve them, it would also colour them darker and maybe not the most environmentally friendly version
Would love to try, I cut hazel poles from an overstood coppice for small art projects. Could you please tell me what size is the timber for the frame? Looks about 2"X2"? Cheers!
@@AbellTo That's kind of what I think as well. We have a large hazelnut tree growing on the edge of our forest. It is quite large but could be the same specie. Next walk out there I will check for smaller ones that could potentially be coppiced. Thank you.
Ja wyplatam z całych idzie szybciej no ale ja leszczyny mam Full tnę sekator na długich rączkach szkoda piły paliwa i łańcucha bo ten bardzo dostaje! Sekatorem łatwiej oszczędzić za małe witki i mniej się męczą ręce bo materiału przecież trzeba dużo!
Traditionally ours are split and the hazel lasts much longer in our climate in the UK, the damp causes round rods to rot far quicker. Once our hazel is in better rotation then I’m hoping to use the chainsaw much less. All the best with your craft work.
These look great, you’ve inspired me to make some, I’ve dabbled/made a few hurdles over the years but I’d like to give these a go - can you tell me what timber you used,, couldn’t tell what it was , looks poss like some soft wood? Is it treated or not? And are they just 2 x 4’s ripped down the middle., great work ,,
Beautiful wirk. Cheers from the USA 👏🙏👍💖💝💞🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks so much
Regards Darren
Great to see the process from start to finish.
Thanks 👍
Best video on wattles yet. And no talking to that. Ha!
Haha, thanks, it’s become my most popular video, thanks for watching and getting in touch
Thank you for not having the power tools full volume. Have never understood why people do that in videos.
Thanks, it bugs me too so I do my my best to lower the volume on those bits. Thanks for watching
The French Farmhouse suggested your Chanel
Brilliant thanks so much for joining us. I hope you like what we film
Magnifique et naturelc👍👍👍💗💗💗
Thank you
Nice video. Calming

Hope your projects go well. Hazel is fantastic wood
Hey, those are great! A fun, interesting vid and lots of possibilities..
Thank you so much!
Lovely!
thanks so much
Beautiful dedication ❤
Thanks so much
Theyre briliant the softwood edges really blend it in to modernity. How long do they last in your experience?
Thanks, as for how long they last, if not treated, usually 10 years.
I tried this a while ago, it takes forever 😂
It can be a slow process but a rewarding one. Thanks for getting in touch
Самое лучшее видео❤💐🫶💪👏👍🌸
Thanks so much
Salut. Arata super! Lemnul este tratat cu substanțe speciale? Ce ne poti spune despre rezistența in timp a acestui lemn?

Can you harvest hazel any time of year. Great work, just subbed
Thank you so much.
You could harvest all year but it’s certainly not something I’d recommend.

@@AbellTo Thank you for caring about the wildlife, and good advice here.
im going to try making this with madre de cacao
Sounds very interesting
I've just started watching your video work. Thanks in advance.
I'm wondering what the wood type was that you made the 2x2 from?
Is it the kind of lumber available at the lumber yard in 16ft lengths?
Yes the 2x2 is available from timber yards, I buy as 4x2 and cut it in half
bravo
Thank you
What kind of willow are you using. Wondering if I can grow something similar here in US.
Hazel. Probably could use other tree saplings as well
The trees bent at the base,, is that from snow load in winter?
They blew over when very young and we’re left by the landowner because of the volume that were affected and they grew back wonky. They’re amazing aren’t they
Can you use any type of wood?
Hazel , sweet chestnut and willow work best but I have experimented with cherry and ash with success but they may not last outside so long
Im going too try this iv got lots of willow never thought of putting it in a frame what size wood did you you's 3×2
Re,dave
I wonder if painting the hurdles and limbs with a mixture of used motor oil and kerosene would greatly prolong the life of the hurdles
I guess it would. We’ve got some at the woodland that are coming into their 10th year. I’ve never treated them. Admittedly they’re fragile but if the frame stays together the weave is usually fine too
. Clear wood preservative some people use
Fire hazard anyone? Maybe better to use a wood protectant like Thompson's water seal. It could even be sprayed on to save time.
I've read that Lindseed oil is recommended, once the wood dries, and is compostable too
I recommend clear wood preservative that’s oil based but linseed oil is a good suggestion too. Water based products are fairly useless at preserving fence materials. As for engine oil it would certainly preserve them, it would also colour them darker and maybe not the most environmentally friendly version
Would love to try, I cut hazel poles from an overstood coppice for small art projects.
Could you please tell me what size is the timber for the frame? Looks about 2"X2"?
Cheers!
Brilliant, i have another video on how to split hazel a full tutorial. Yes the from is 2"x2" almost.
All the best
@@AbellTo I'll look for that video, thanks a lot 👍
You’re most welcome, it’s good to hear from you
700❤
Thanks, it keeps fluctuating but gradually more keep getting drawn into the woodland.
Oops meant hazel 😁 .
Hi this is Corylus Avalana. I’m sure you must have hazel growing near you.
@@AbellTo That's kind of what I think as well. We have a large hazelnut tree growing on the edge of our forest. It is quite large but could be the same specie. Next walk out there I will check for smaller ones that could potentially be coppiced. Thank you.

So glad it inspires you.
Yes treated 2x4 ripped. It works for me because it’s still difficult to get good hazel in our area.
Awesome, thank you, they look great.
