Making a woven living willow sculptural archway 

Brilliant video, gave me all the information I needed for how to make my willow archway. Thank you. 👍

I have got some willows in my garden. Thanks for the inspiration! ☺

Brilliant, that is going to be looking really good!

What a great idea! Beautiful, and will keep getting better! Show us how it looks in weeks to come 😃👍

Around the homestead, I've found nothing better than good ol' tarred marline for everyday outdoor lashing tasks. You can make your own if you have a boating supply house or veterinarian around. Just soak some cotton butcher's twine in the pine tar (Stockholm Tar) and it'll last for ages. The pine tar is great for applying to sores and rashes, too. Plus, it smells great. If you don't have a hank of Stockholm Tar on the shelf, you're not living right. That stuff is fantastic for treating your wooden tool handles, and generally preserving things.

@patagonia Workwear hemp canvas overalls, working overtime on this regenerative farm! 🙂 I'm so glad to see them in action!

Sooo cool!!! It’s very exciting to see the willow sides turning into a beautiful arch👏🏼💚 You make it look very easy and I am thoroughly inspired to plant one :)

Willow structues are great. I had great fun with them when I had a garden. I look forward to your updates!

So awesome. I now have a willow fen now and so going to do this too. Thank you. Everything i have learned and tried from y'all is working. Thanks for the update

Wish I could fast-forward the real time to see how the trees are doing in the future

Wow, I can't wait to see updates on this in future years.

Nice, love this kinda stuff! That's a sizeable arch!

Awesome! Do these stay alive? And continue to live and grow

If you had those arches dotted around, everywhere, would it baffle the road noise?

That does not look like my willow. Recently, came off Sertraline and had horrible dull crunchy headaches (I could hear my eyes moving FFS!) and I could not get pre-made aspirin for love or money. Not anywhere. I tried. So I used my willow. Which may, now I see yours, not actually be willow. I'm only now starting to get something like full feeling back in the right side of my face (still a bit Nova-caned top lip and under my eye - but it's slowly coming back)! Mine has much broader leaves. It did chase the headache off, though.

When you add in a strand - it seems to make that side more erect. Each strand will alter the shape. Be careful with that!

this is nothing tbh! i planted 200 willow 12 years ago on my freinds farm . now he has awillow arch , 12 ft apart and at least 15 ft high and a hondred yards long at the least . it is almost like walking into a fairytale book walking down a willow arched road big enough to drive a tractor down :)
