A very useful, 40 page, full colour A4 booklet. Perfect for anyone considering growing or using willow for basket-making. Full details on cultivation, siting, harvesting, grading and processing.
Also a useful section on Pest, disease and Weed control and most useful set of tables of the willow varieties and their characteristics. Well worth the money in our view.
A short but information packed book. I have read it already and found I was paying attention to every word. If you needed to know anything about the production, history, uses and varieties of willow, then this is the book. It answers those questions that most of the other books on this craft somehow don't. I thoroughly recommend this book and feel having read it that I have a much better understanding of the subject.
I grow willow and make baskets already, but this booklet gave me new insights into the history of basket willow in the UK and aspects of harvesting.
In-depth book growing and processing all over basketry. Excellent
