Just wondering if anyone does this and if so if there are any tips. My current house is in the middle of the suburbs and only has a couple of trees so I likely won't be doing it now, but I have plans to get a different house in the next couple of years and ideally will have a wood fireplace or decorative/functional wood stove and some wooded land. Coppicing or pollarding seem like a good way to have a steady supply of firewood and wood for small craft type woodworking projects.

Nope don't know of anyone doin this... we just cut shit down and burn it, haven't run outta firewood in 5 generations.

On purpose? No, but Siberian elm stumps grow like crazy. As in 2-3" shoots in 2 years.

I think pollarding is a big thing in Europe.  It would be a pain in the ass because you would have to have a bucket truck (assuming you're not a tree climber) to trim back to the old cuts every year.  Doing the other process at ground level would probably work on some species, but I would imagine it wouldn't be very good quality wood for burning.
