Thank you so much for the Willow handbook! & for your selfless work & shares! I'm just starting to grow my own willow from scratch & no experience. I find your videos, websites & the handbook amazingly helpful! Very down to earth & easy to understand. Tom in Tulla told me you would be brilliant! :) Much appreciated! Krisztina

I've been dabbling in basketry for a few years, but always had problems soaking in the winter as I don't have the space for a trough so I use soaking bags. Wallpaper steamer! Genius! Thank you.

Thanks for the video Brendon! I've been making baskets for years now and learned a lot from this video and others of yours. Much appreciated!

Love these videos! Willow is amazing.

So clear and informative! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your information! God Bless you!

Like the video. Im interested in learning more about weaving. I collected willow rods a year ago, and am now feeling inspired to finally start. I look forward to future videos.

Thank you! Very helpful.

Thanks for this!

Excellent information presented clearly. Thank you so much.

My gradfather used to make fig picking baskets for us,he knew a lot about weaving,and I know so little ,but thanks to You Sir I am starting bit by bit. The book is awesome!!!I In winter I am going to propagate willow near river bank ,because river is erroding it`s bank,and I intend to stop this process(since the goverment doesn`t give a sh.. about it),plus I ll get willow rods for my baskets in the future. Once again thnx a lot and greetings from Croatia.

Amazing, thank you for the video

Great video, thank you for sharing this info. I'll wait until the leaves have fallen from our willow before I cut it and will look forward to making a basket next year.

Thank you Brendan for the great tips & idea for a tool. Perhaps Santa will leave me one under the tree :). Wishing you & yours a Happy Christmas.

Useful video thanks!

like the calm.

Thankyou so much for the e-book! For some reason it didn't work to my gmail account, but I received it at my other email address.

Thank you for your videos, they are very easy to follow - I am an absolute beginner . I have been given some willow and i'm hoping to make very simple projects with primary school children. I attempted the fish but realised that my willow was too dry and brittle. I have used a steam stripper method to soften and rehydrate the willow. After steaming, how long will the willow stay flexible ? Also after steaming , do I leave the willow wrapped up in the tarpaulin until I use it . The steam has created lots of water and I wasn't sure if it was good to leave the willow sitting in it . Thank you

Nice swandri 💯👌👍

What a great video. I’m excited to try this with willow from my wheeling tree. Can I please have the link to the ebook?

Спасибо!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wow

Thank you for this information. Has helped me on my basketing journey. I would be interested in the ebook if it’s still available!

Hello! I have just purchased your video guiding me through weaving a skib. On the materials list, you use 40 seven to eight foot rods, I do have those but am holding them back for another project. Are they for the uprights? Could I get by with six footers? Or, is it a diameter concern? As you can surmise, I am very new at this. On another note, I find your video to be very professional--clear and easy to follow which I greatly appreciate. I'll happily use my seven footers if need be and then source more for the other projects I have in mind. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Please could you tell me where I cut this years growth from the sticks I planted last year. Do I cut them to ground level or leave a stalk to produce a ball? Thank you.

Wow free book ?

Can't find the link for the free copy , can you send please?

I clicked for the hand book but the link didn't work 😢

👍🏻

Is the willow ready to use as soon as it is done steaming, or does it need to go through a mellowing process as when soaking?

Hello from Canada’ 🇨🇦 I have tried downloading your free book every way I can think of. It still doesn’t work. Do you have any suggestions?

I might’ve missed it, or maybe it’s in another of your videos, but is there a particular season when the willow is harvested?

Hi, I can’t get the download page to load. It’s coming up blank.

I enjoy your video and would like a copy of your book but eather the link is not working or I did it wrong

Couldnt open the link?

I've got some buff willow, can I steam that? And if you do steam it does it need to mellow after as well or can it be used straight away?

Tried to get handbook but it just will not come thru--john P

How come your willow hasn't got any leaves growing on it?
