Making a rose arch from hazel rods ~ by WoodlandsTV

Produced exclusively for WoodlandsTV

Slow connection? Watch in lower quality

A rose arch made from hazel is always an attractive addition to any garden. Rosie Rendell discovered how to make one by going on a course at West Dean College, Chichester. WoodlandsTV talked to her whilst she was making one at the Weald Wood Fair in Sussex. Using a side adze to split the hazel ,and a mould with pre drilled holes Rosie discusses the points to look out for including a top tip to make your rose arch last longer. She is gaining more experience and skill working with Wildwood Charcoal and Coppice Products.

Excellent video. Thank you, Rosie. Shouldn’t some of you get past your puerile, animal urges and see the beauty of the work?
