Greenwood Products
I am currently adding content to this area of the site – so that this page will become a gallery for the turned items and greenwood products that I make. I sell these items at shows when I am demonstrating.
I don’t have a large stock and am often making things at shows to fill gaps. I don’t tend to do commissions or special orders but if there is something you really like please ask me – there may be one available. I hope this season to be able to work out how to sell direct as well as through shows and events.
Turned Treen
I make a range of items turned on a traditional foot powered polelathe, including household items (treen), garden items, tool handles and bowls. All of these products are made using locally sourced native English hardwoods and preferably I will have felled or cleared the tree myself during the winter season when I am working as a woodsman. Often this wood is disposed of as wastewood or used as firewood.

Bowls – I have also started to make a range of bowls using the polelathe. I have invested a lot of time and effort into learning how to make both the special tools and the bowls and I hope to be able to start selling these bowls this season.
Hand crafted wooden bowls turned on a foot powered pole lathe and using sustainable local English native wood.
Coppice Produts
I make a range of traditional coppice products including Besom brooms, Hay rakes, bean poles, pea sticks, barbecue charcoal, artists charcoal and charcoal fines for soil improvement.
Traditional besoms made using winter cut young birch spray bundled and stored for making brooms, as they have been made in my village for hundreds of years. The local pub was reputedly first built on the profits (once drunk) of the local broom squires who numbered 38 in this parish alone during the 19th Century.
Bean Poles, Stakes and Pea-sticks
I have bundles of birch Bean-Poles (7’6 length 11 for £4 ) and Pea-sticks (10 for £3) available when in season (roughly February to June). You can collect them at shows I will be demonstrating at (see show list) or direct from me if you live in the Haslemere area (email me woodland.antics@virgin.net or call me on 07787 536035 for more details).

Hi There
Its Matt from the High Weald AONB, I came and did a bit of filming at the charcoal burn and you mentioned that you had filmed some of the building of the clamp.
I was wondering if there was any footage which we could use in our eductaional film that we are putting together for the High Weald AONB website.
Regards
Matt

Would be great to have here on the products page pictures of all your lovely products. Nice picture of each and a price, with any ‘seasonal’ limitations. Don’t need lots of words, just nice pictures and a one time explaination for all of how to contact/order. For example, some lovely things in this post, which are not shown on this products page:

Hello Mark,
I am one of the “Neil” who came to your introduction to Pole Lathe on Sunday 28th August. I would like to thank you again for a wondeful Day’s experience. I have yet to make the lathe or shave horse, I am sure if wont be long before I am surrounded in wood shavings.
Many thanks
Neil

Look up ‘Nostepinne’, and then go make some.
Hi, Mark. Do you have any Sussex handle hay rakes available, please?
sorry for the delay in reply. I am out of stock and overdue to make some hay rakes right now, but struggling a bit to make up some scythe handles before the scythe festival. I’ll email you should I manage to make any in the next couple of weeks.
