Hi Rosie! Thank you for this video. It was very informative. I'm really keen to work with hazel. All I now need is to get hold of some hazel for planting. Best wishes, Zephyr
Probably 3 years too late but anyway, the tool she is using is a type of adze. I think she calls it a side adze but I've also seen it be called a Sussex or cleaving adze. Its unique to Sussex I believe and would have been made by local blacksmiths. Splitting the hazel can be done with a billhook in the same way. Depending on where your from you could get one custom made. I don't know of anyone who still makes them. Hope this helps you or someone else.
Yur good easier with a spar hook! I used to specilze in silver culture and restore derelict woodlands! Just about to go back to it in rural devon! Happy life forager!
no hard feelings but you are beautifull an very inspiering, greetings from a dutchman doing permaculture things in the french pyrenees. no doubt the place to be so see ya!
What no body seems to realise is that hazel rods like this will be rotten after three years which is about how long its gonna take you to train your rose to grow up it
if you seal the base parts of the arch so water can't wick into the branches, and you coat them with linseed oil and let dry before planting, I imagine the structure would last a lot longer than 3 years. Making sure any part of the a wood structure exposed to ground water saturation is properly treated is most important. People used to put pitch (tar or oil) at the base of any wood they stuck in the ground, or else they charred the surface of the wood posts up to the ground-water or waterline. If you allow water to wick up and saturate wood, it will obviously rot, and it will usually do so from the inside out, so you typically won't even see the damage until it's too late. Basically, if you treat it like you would any other outdoor wood structure, it will have the potential to last at least a life-time.
edward charles Good point. There are quite a few wooden stave churches in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, etc that are hundreds of years old. (Centuries, plural!) From around 1200 AD. They are set up off the ground on stone footings. It looks like they used a Japanese wood treatment technique called shou sugi ban. The wood is scorched, which then resists rotting, pests, UV light, etc. (But I think the churches were sealed with pitch? I’m not sure on the details - I just found out about this recently). And you can use these construction methods without needing access to a forge, with (free) materials found right on your own property.
so happy I’ve found this channel! Thankyou for the tips,it’s fascinating to watch you
That was a great insight to green woodworking, i wish we had more space to do the traditional crafts.

Fascinating! 🍃
Great info! Thanks for another informational video. Does anyone know where I can find more info about the Sider tool used to split the hazel rods?

Pretty cool!
Took me till the end to figure out it's an archway that has to be stood up.
Amazing hair!
Genius
No picture of finish project. How disappointing.
Why don't you plant lettuce around your cannabis? It's cheap, grows like crazy and rabbits love it.
Awesome vid. BTW, this lady is HAWT!
HAWT is a very accurate description.

Alright mate, fancy seeing you here.

The real deal.

So what is your proposition to make it longer lasting?

try a better material , there are some metal rose arches well over a hundred years old that are still doing good service
barkershill yes and there are other metal 100 year old objects that have rusted away. It's about how you look after things.
