CNC milling 

This milling job took approximately 6 hours to complete on a large-format CNC 😬

Integrating digital fabrication into a project focused on reactivating coppicing has been an ongoing consideration.

CNC machining in 18 mm birch plywood proved to be the most efficient way to produce the connector plates. The design was adjusted to suit the machine, allowing for smoother and more reliable milling.

This process enabled precise cutting and quick iteration, providing a controlled counterpart to the natural variability of the coppiced wood.
