End of the coppicing season

We must have made about ten visits during the winter, and made a small start on the first coupe.  Today we dropped as much as we could as the sap is starting to rise and the birds are beginning to breed.  We can tidy up the felled trunks later in the year.  Still a huge amount of work to do; moving the 2 metre lengths across the wood and splitting it into firewood sized pieces and stacking it for drying.  Then we have to get it to market or home.
