Sustainable Woodstock has designed and built an octagonal woodland shelter using hazel grown in their community woodland. For more information contact David Rees via their website

David Rees authored an article on this project that was published in the summer 2024 edition of Cleft Stick - a coppice woodworkers publication. (see edited version below).

The full publication can be download from The Coppice Federation

At the June 2026 Braziers Park Woodfest OWG ladies H. Smith-Matthews and C. Popenseiker demonstrated the use of plastic spyder hubs in simplifying construction of a hazel geodome

Image

The dome can be used either as a standalone plant climbing frame or infilled / covered to make a rudimentary building. It is also useful to use as a structure that can display various wood artefacts.

Image

The plastic spyder hubs can be purchased singly or as a kit from https://buildwithhubs.co.uk/

The Oxfordshire Woodland Group can cut and supply hazel or other wood rods to local customer specified lengths (see website calculator) ready for assembly of a geodome.
