Where are you guys getting blanks for carving? Not many fallen trees in se5 :(

There's been some coppice work happened near us so I've got hazel & birch scraps to feed on, pictured.

There's a Poplar part fallen that I found today too, some sap is still rising (now falling) as the broken trunk has branches trying to go into leaf... now I'm trying to justify carrying the bowsaw on my next walk as an essential.

Poplar is a fantastic wood to carve, it’s really light too. This Black poplar was the biggest tree in Reading and it blew down in January.
There’s enough wood there to keep my carving for years.
