Dry Willow Products

Dried willow branches provide the perfect medium for weaving willow baskets, furniture, and wreaths. Simply, soak dried willow in water to make the willow pliable again and ready for weaving.

Our willow branches, sticks, or rods are dried in a covered structure after being harvested. This ensures they will retain their thickness, integrity, and tension for best use in weaving willow baskets, sculptures, and fencing. Growing straight willow sticks requires yearly coppicing. At Living Willow Farm, we cut yearly in order to properly regenerate straight rods of various lengths which are then sorted to length and bundled. Willow branch color varies by the variety grown, as well as growing conditions. The willow branches also vary in thickness and strength depending on species and growing season.
