Willow Weaving Techniques | Three Rod Wale

I hope you enjoy this video about the Weaving technique called the 3 Rod Wale. To begin a wale in the sides of basket, lay in the required number of rods in adjoining spaces, take the left-hand rod, carry it over the others, behind the stake against the front of which the right-hand rod lies, and out to the front again. This stroke is repeated throughout the waling, taking the left-hand rod each time. When the butts of the rods have been reached, new butts are inserted close alongside the old ones, the latter being left on outside and the new ones on inside of work.

I am just beginning to learn about basket making... rank amateur. I enjoy your videos. So slow and common sense.

[@paintmebaby]

Thanks for the free Willow Handbook and the TH-cam videos.

[@gdouglas8122]

I appreciate how slowly you show the initial weave on the uprights first, then on the basket itself. Your description of what you are doing is also excellent - I am guessing you must be a natural born teacher. thank you so much for your videos! Wonderful!

You prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother these days :)

[@zaidamos1333]

@Maxim Clyde definitely, have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)

[@Nancytoday]

yes, it was great i am glad you explained and showed me. it was better than a workshop

[@roanholley-hime3275]

This was a wonderful video. Cleanly, patiently and understandably taught by someone who seems down to earth and suited to working with natural products who has the gift of making beauty in nature lend itself to practical beauty in the home. I will seek out the other videos intentionally as I am sure to enjoy them and doubtless will learn great skills. Thank you so much for your time.

[@Momcat6]

Thank you! This is wonderful to watch and I understand the process now.

[@BigGreenArt]

Great! You're welcome

[@christinesforza8600]

Absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. I will give this a try this week when I trim my willow. Thank you very much for a great tutorial.

Gracias.

[@jimruddock3187]

looking good.

[@TheFiown]

Fantastic !!

[@jacquifox4074]

Does it matter whether you have odd or even number of uprights for this to work?

[@BigGreenArt]

no, not for waling, only important for slewing, when you need an odd number

[@andytwinpoppy9130]

Thank you so much for this lesson on weaving :) Will this work for garden obelisk as well?

[@BigGreenArt]

Pairing easier, but this will also work.

[@andytwinpoppy9130]

Big Green Art thanks a lot, I already tried and made two :) they’re far from perfect obviously, but I’m happy with the result. Will make another with the method you suggest 👍🏼

[@marcellogalasso2010]

Ciao chiedevo se potresti fare un video di come si fa la base ovale di un cesto.non riesco a capire bene la legatura. grazie

[@Ludifant]

It's a beatiful stone in the middle, but I wonder what it's function is. Weighing it down, presumably, but can you tell us why this is important? Probably a stupid question, but for a teacher those are the best ones, 'cause you probably can't imagine someone not knowing this :)

[@BigGreenArt]

Turns out you do know! It's just to weigh down while the uprights are still tall, and a little bit unstable.

[@crazykid7028]

very nice ,but I'll be poor to death

[@BigGreenArt]

thank you. What do you mean?
