Hello again from the West Coast of Canada. Thanks a lot for taking your time to make these videos! You have explained the answers to many questions I have regarding the borders! I grow several varieties of willow here on my property and enjoy working with it. What is the material you are using here? Great for demonstrating! I have watched many videos from Eastern Europe and see the border work but usually it is never explained as you have done! I will be watching all of your videos .. likely more than once.. and learning from you! Thanks Jake.. :)
Hello to you, and greetings from Israel. Glad to learn my work is appreciated. In the video I'm demonstrating using reed, aka center cane, aka rattan. Indeed a great material for demonstrating/ practicing. What varieties do you grow? Are you working with them mostly as brown willow (dried but not pilled)?
@@Basket_Case_1 Hello, I like the idea of Rattan in the round because of the consistency and length. I have never tried it. Igrow some purpureas ,rubens and a korianagi.. I also have a few different wild willows here and grow hazel. I have tried it brown and white...also I have made tools to split and skein the rods..I have sold some rods but not baskets... it is my hobby.
