Buff willow

Our specialist knowledge and expertise ensure that each crop of willow is of the very highest quality. Every year, hundreds of thousands of willow rods are harvested, hand sorted and graded on our farm.

Willow is available in different varieties and lengths and is processed to produce a wide range of finishes. Willow is measured the old-fashioned way. Rods are dropped into a sunken oil drum and held up against a measuring stick marked in foot increments, so a 4ft bundle of rods may contain a range of rods from 3ft to 4ft.

Buff willow

Natural barked willow is placed in boiling water for several hours. The tannins are released turning the rods a toffee colour. Once stripped and dried the rod is smooth. Requires soaking and mellowing.
