Love this! I planted some willow trees some years ago, and coppiced them last year. I've got willow coming out my ears! Time to learn basketry, and this looks like a great project. Consider me a new fan!
This is wonderful! I've only seen weaving done with one weaving stick at a time but using two makes so much more sense! Now, if only my knife was as sharp as yours and the soil as fertile! Thank you so much - looking forward to more.
Hi! I'm so happy to have found your channel. I'm in NZ and trying out willow weaving for the first time. I'll be making your Xmas tree and star and this bean obelisk for startes. Great easy tute, thank you! :)
Hi Brendan, that's cool your brother is here! I'm just going down to the river and harvesting it myself. I don't think it's found commercially here. Have noticed recently some willow obelisks at garden shop which would be imported probably. Not really a thing here, but I love it, so atmospheric! Cheers, Julie @@BigGreenArt
I used basically this same method to build myself a HUT once in an area of woods less than 3 miles away from my home in NJ USA. The hut is more than 8 feet across on all sides, is more than 12 feet high, and has a hole in the bottom of one side for an entrance way. With the various types of leaves and palm frond type branches that are available in the specific area of woods that this hut is located I can keep the inside of the hut dry under almost any precipitation conditions. Since this hut is completely round the constant breezes that blow during certain types of weather are also dissipated by the curvature of the walls easier than if the hut was a straight wall surface. I built this hut in 1992 when I was 28 years old. It's still standing, but every springtime I have to go back out there are do a little bit of repair and replace work. I even have a trench system that runs from outside the hut under the walls into the hut so that I can have a small fire inside the hut during cold nights and winter storms. It's like a Dakota fire pit and it's only as thick as my lower leg but it runs more than 8 feet on all 4 sides of the hut so that I always have more than enough fresh air to keep my fore lit as long as the wood fuel that I use hasn't burned off completely.
Most weavers grow their own. Willow is easy to grow. Most growers who sell rods only sell locally, most are willing to ship orders for cuttings that you can plant yourself. I have 40 willows for basketry. They like moist, well-drained soil and are prolific.
Thank you for demonstrating this art without music.
Came to the channel for the willow work...stayed for the dreamy accent.
Literally just discovered this channel and as soon as he spoke I said "ohhh irish" 😂 xx
Absolutely beautiful. Gardens with art work like this are gems.
Liked this video. Clear and straightforward, thanks from South Carolina, USA.
Wat ontzettend leuk lijkt mij dat om ook een obelisk te maken. Bedankt voor dit duidelijke filmpje. Groet
Best demonstration I've seen, thanks!

Loved this - thanks! I made a mega small one for my sweet peas yesterday out of old garden bits and a few cuttings from the willow.
I love that drum beat and the obelisk looks very neat. When my willow gets that long I'll have to give it a go. I have the Hazel.
Eeeeek 😍😍! Love this. When my willow tree matures I'm going to try this.

Once again a lovely calm informative video, such a pleasure to listen and watch.
Subbed in two secs. Awesome! will teach our children the weaving.
Willow looks like such a cool material to work with. I'm going to have to try to find some and plant it. Never see it where I live.
ive been burning the ends of willow to stop them growing your idea about removing the bark is a lot better great vid
Thank you for your videos they are so clear and inspire me to get out there and start weaving. Nice one!
you rock brother

So glad you like it! Can you get willow in NZ? My bro is in C/church, love it! Happy weaving. Brendan

Love your videos. Wish I lived there!
I love your 🐕
Beautifully simple structure and you show the technique so clearly. Thank you. Please can you demo how to plant in the structure? Respect
Inspirational. Thank you!
Are you going to make more basket weaving videos? Maybe one about rounded, bulbous type baskets? Love your videos
Loved this video!
Your welcome
Thanks! Great video
Love it❤! Thank you.
Thank you, very easy to follow.
Vielen Dank, gerne mehr davon
Супер!, БЛАГОДАРЮ
awesome
Ok great vid but have to say your voice is to die for 🤣 ❤
My dulcet northern irish droll?! Ha! Thanks!
Great vids
I'm looking forward to doing this when our newly-planted willow matures.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy making it !
Genius
Hi ! easy ...thank you!
Hi. What kind of willow?
I m from Thailand
So willow bark has the growth hormone your saying? Or is it that it kills the bottom?
I shaved the bark off to stop it growing, as the bark has a growth hormone and the rods would grow when planted
Mai ask how soon after harvesting willows (viminalis) could we use it to make the garden support? Many thanks.
You can use straight away, as long as you strip off the bark at the bottom
@@BigGreenArt thank you so much!
What will this serv you for?
Climbing plants like peas and beans are planted around the perimeter and they climb up the cone around the willow, and makes for easier harvesting
@@BigGreenArt You can use a stick instead!

do you use willow fresh
What would you plant in one this large?
Something like beans, or peas
First
Weave on
So the Russian's S500s did not shoot down the missiles? Not very believable story.
