Weeping Willow Wood

Now Mike this is the best wood for making cricket bats. With a little linseed oil they will last forever. you could start up your on cricket club & take on the poms (just kidding). Might make a good baseball bat or a long bow.

I would think it would make for good bowl truning.

Did someone say WILLOW !!! ?!! :)
what a gorgeous wood. I don’t know about stability /strength etc but I can speak on the beauty of it..
Willow was the wood from our fire wood stash that I got my hands on for practicing when I first started this journey last year.

Willow is like pine and poplar. It can be used for anything.

It makes poor firewod due to its lightness.

I live in Washington and have seen some folks making and selling homemade furniture, chairs and curio racks …The kind of stuff you might have seen in the “Wicked witch of the West” house … ...definately full size furniture made from Oregon Willow …They use a lot of the smaller branches as it is very flexible and holds small nails very well …
