From coppice to barn and back again. 🌳
Half a dozen oaks were thinned from a hazel coppice on the Barlavington Estate and felled by the South Downs National Park rangers.

🔨 Cut and jointed by hand in the yard
🏗️ Taken back and raised in the same coppice
Western red cedar cladding and larch double barn doors from the Goodwood Estate, also milled by us.

🍎🌳 New build, old orchard.
We were commissioned to build this roundwood timber-framed shelter with a galvanised tin roof for a local community orchard — built by hand, start to finish. 🙌
Loved being part of this one.

The Mead Hall at Ufton Court — complete. 🏚️
Over the winter we were asked to create something extraordinary: a bespoke mead hall to become the heart of outdoor educational learning at Ufton Court.
Designed and created by the Artizans team led by Dylan to encompass an imaginative wish list, every piece was crafted by hand — from raising the sweet chestnut round wood frame to laying thousands of timber shingles. From the first post raised to the final shingle nailed on the ridge, this build was a true labour of love.
From the moment we met the site genie Scott, the whole Artizans team were really excited — and that made all the difference. A project like this only comes alive when everyone around it believes in it.
The result? A hall full of character, craft, and stories waiting to be told. We couldn't be prouder.

All the timber came from the Goodwood Estate part of their management plan of continuous cover forestry.
Lucky for us we get to work here too.

Amazing couple of days with some of the Artizans team finishing an outdoor shelter lead by the amazing Charlotte 😁
There were plenty of others involved with suppling and creating this space. Thank you one and all.

Ended the week on a high, finished up this mighty fine project. An outdoor classroom for the goodwoodeducationtrust
All the timber coming from sustainable woodland management on the estate. It was so enjoyable being in the woods creating this knowing that many young people will be using it for shelter and hopefully be inspired by the work from the Artizans team.

So this is a building within a building project for the next couple of months.
A fair bit of green and groovy stuff will be going on here….

A curious one as you’ll see in the coming weeks.

Our recent Treehouse has a very special hat put on today.
We had last year been kindly donated some old school plumbing tools with various bits and bobs including the lead to make the hat.
