Hazel poles

[Gold 0]

Well this is all new to me, well, was, until i had a conversation on the phone with mole catcher, what an amazingly helpful guy, then i began to understand more. I had already decided that i was buying the book, peg to peg but after speaking with Martin i had to have it asap, i ordered it thursday afternoon and it arrved before 8am friday morning, i read loads of it while the wife was in ASDA for over 2 and a half hours and decided i want a net NOW ! I had a hectic last few days so didnt get my order off but will be doing asap, when my net arrives i wil need Hazel poles, approx a dozen approx 2 ft long, where can i get them from ? Unlike a lot of folk on here, i wouldn't know hazel from alice so its no use suggesting looking for it because i have no idea what to look for, can anyone help please because i want them sorted for when my net arrives around Wednesday hopefully, many thanks

be very carefull when buying poles unseen. they can sound like a good deal but turn out useless for your needs and in some cases dangerous as they can be brittle and splinter or shatter on use such as cane or bamboo.

heres a pic of some finished hazle

 

 

 

this is what their leaves look like

 

 

and at this time of the year the bark has a dry leafy type over bark flaking away that rubs off with the hand. the stems are what we want for pole and normally grow in clusters growing upright and straight.

You'll know Hazel when you see it Gold, the branches growing upwards will be straighter than anything else in the wood.

Hazel.......what to look for

[lawrence 657]

it tends to grow near water ( river , lakes), f##k ebay half the fun is finding and cutting your own, i like the golden stuff , once you know what your looking for, your'll spot it all the time.

Its all over the countryside, take a walk as mentioned anywhere, alongside rivers and streams are very good spots to look..
