Hi Folks,
Are lengths of coppiced hazel or willow easy to come by from anywhere in the North of England ? SWMBO wants to make a yurt !
Thanks for any suggestions.

Shoud be. Just take a billhook into a quiet wood..
Sorry, don't know about the North.
But you'll also be wanting a steam-bent eye for the middle of it. I know some retired yurt-builders (concentrating on timber-framing now) who might have some going spare. Drop an email to diana at timber-routes.co.uk
They could probably do you a whole yurt, if you wanted.
Shouldn't be hard.... try people on this list:

You could try the BTCV -

and see if any of the local groups are producing any.
If all else fails, the Cambridge Conservation Volunteers produce quite a lot between November and March.
Most of it used to go to local thatchers.
Mention my name and see if anyone remembers me.
Thanks Tony, Thats sorted things out very nicely !

This IS Uk.DIY you know.... Thanks Andy. Steve
