Wood from a coppiced tree. Coppicing
is the practice of cutting trees at the base and allowing shoots
(suckers or coppices) to grow from the stump. Coppiced trees grow
faster and live longer then single trunked trees (standards) and
can be harvested for wood products on a shorter cycle. Coppices are
used for firewood, charcoal making, fence posts, basketry and many
other products and crafts.
