The Wyre Forest is rich in coppice oak and has provided the posts for the Novers round house walls, 40 to be precis from a spring oak thinning. Thanks to Tony for giving us a generous price and loading the trailer. The six trips through the obstacle course that is Cleobury High Street on a Saturday were quite challenging and the unloading in the Novers was exhausting. No crane just the two of us with John's ingenuity and a little brute force. Thanks to John, shown single handedly unloading the heaviest of the logs which was a cherry for green wood working. Rather surprisingly heavier than the oak

Next step is to de-bark all 40 of the logs and cut the mortis and tennon joints for the log tops and wall plate. Volunteers still welcome to help at weekends, completing the ring ditch and processing the oak logs. Interested ring Jan on 01584 890946
