In this episode of Traditional Skills we will make something, everyone should do during the Bark Month - Willow Whistle! Like this video? Buy me a cup of coffee at: ko-fi.com/ropeworks
Dad taught me this over 50 years ago... use to take great pride as a child making them with my jack-knife and giving them to friends... thanks for the memories.
I am so glad I came across your channel! I live in south Alabama in the United States and this video brought back some good memories. My dad was born in 1927 and he use to make one of these every year out of Hickory and each time he went through every step in making the whistle. He said his grandpa taught him how to make them. Thank you for keeping this craft alive. ❤
thank you for reminding me of my childhood , my grandfather made many toys for us , one being a willow whistle . as well being from the outer islands in a small fishing community I learned as a child many useful and fun knots which I still use 60years later . thank you very much once more ⚓
Nice project Mikko. I'm very grateful that my father taught me many hands on skills. It's a wonderful time of bonding and growth. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. All the best.
dat heb ik nog geleerd van mijn opa ,maar van mijn over groot vader leerde ik er een maken uit houwt zonder bast ,dat is wat moelijker maar is een fluit die langer mee gaat als een van bast!! wat je nodig heb is een hand boor 8 en een zakmes ! leuk ga er weer een maken !! opa
It needs a lanyard now... Or is that the next video.. Willow also makes a good asprin substitute...for kids with whistles.... I'll keep this one in my tool box till needed.. Lol.. Thanks for the clip....
What was that tool you used to cut the Willow? It looks like a scythe but the handle is far different. Very curious, I use a machete for cutting weeds and brush, but your tool looks like a back saver...
