George, Fereday (2024) Coppice construction: George Fereday explores the potential of coppiced sweet chestnut in buildings. Timber Trades Journal, 2024 (Mar/Ap). p. 63. ISSN ISSN 1740-701X
An opinion piece for 'Talking Timber' in the Timber Trades Journal. Coppicing provides fast growth, regenerative hardwood, net-gain biodiversity and supports local woodland jobs. Despite these benefits, very little coppiced sweet chestnut is converted to useful timber. Unmanaged or ‘overstood’ coppiced trees are typically burnt as biomass or logs, releasing decades of sequestered carbon into the atmosphere. This article summarises findingfs from two studies into the use of coppiced sweet chestnut timber; ‘Home Grown Cabin’ and ‘Home Grown House.’
