      I think that “oak” you are referring to might be a beech

    I love this natural look and hate the flaying machine on the tractor so I’ve been starting from scratch and after 4 years the hedges look so much better but I think the local farmer that used to cut the hedges can’t understand why I’m doing it !!!!

    Wow Matt great video... we've been searching for one about coppicing and wattle fencing that says it all for the community learning project we're running in Felland Copse (Reigate) so a big thank you from team Sorbus!

    Awesome fence, looking really good! Another good use for hazel is to make Hay Rakes, we do a lot of that at Carymoor! Keep up the great work and it’s fantastic to see the land being used for sustainable practices!

    • @spencersanderson1894

      Willow or Hazel was what was mainly used, Ash had other purposes. Not to say they didn’t make them from Ash I’m sure someone has.

    I thought for a while that you were going to advocate 'Neolithicing' the stems you need and leaving the rest. Great that you didn't. However, 40 years working in woods in the south of England (Surrey, Sussex, Hants, Dorset) convinces me that just putting a little bit of brash on cut individual stools does not work to stop deer browsing. Deer in the numbers your wood obviously has will browse the regrowth as it clears the laid brash. The regrowth will be cranked and unusable for hurdling and the vigour of the stool will be reduced. By cutting individual stools without cutting surrounding trees stools will be shaded and regrowth further compromised. Boot this comment off, if you need to, but go and look at this vid (from Dorset) to see the effects of deer browsing and a better way to protect the regrowth (and the ground and naturally regenerating trees) czcams.com/video/3ueOyMVwG-0/video.html

    I,m afraid it's way off a traditional woven hurdle, I would point you to professional wattle hurdle makers.
    The bottom is woven with six rods , I am retired now and get somewhat tired of people saying that these are how it's done, show us an image of a panel you have made?

    • @tracy419
      @tracy419 Před 3 měsíci

      I watched another guy making the panels you are referring to, and they are definitely done differently than this.
      However I get the feeling this particular version is simply intended to stay in place, not be moved around in panel form.
      Seems like this is suited just fine for that purpose.
