2009年9月7日 · Willow is a light wood, but it is classified as a medium hard wood, not a soft wood. It actually handles fine but is a little fibrous, which turns some people off. Personally I love the natural grain of willow. It's a beautiful wood. As for it's durability, it dents rather than breaks (because of the fibrousness), but it can finish a little weird.

2009年12月8日 · Cricket Bat Willow The trees used in the manufacture of cricket bats is the Salix Alba Caerulea (Cricket Bat Willow). This type of willow is very fast growing with a single straight stem. It also has slightly larger leaves than normal white willow, being 10 to 11cm long and 1.5 to 2cm wide. The leaves are also a more blue-green in colour.

2012年9月8日 · Not a long lasting wood but properly used it can become useful to the full time woodburner. It's a good shoulder season wood, cold early mornings and expected 10:00 AM or so warming up temps make burning willow nice cause it leaves no hot coals. It's the only wood I stack and keep separate. We burn it cause it's here...I wouldn't travel for it.

2011年8月10日 · Personally I don't burn willow but I know a lot do. If I cut it I leave it for the woodpeckers to get bugs from. Same with sycamore. Seems like you get more ash than hear to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2007年3月13日 · Yeah. There are a lot of diffeent types of any tree. To say Willow is bad, or Willow is good, one really needs to limit to one type. I have done some that I call "scrub willow", doesn't grow very big, usually right on or in water, isn't worth much even as bonfire wood. Occasionally get a shot at some take downs in towns, oak, some red maple, ash.

2008年10月31日 · It worked very well with power tools - I would equate its working characteristics with Poplar. It's a fairly soft wood, and the piece I had had interlocked grain, so it wouldn't carve easily. I suspect the reason the wood's not used all that much has to do with the average size of the tree rather than the wood's working characteristics.

2021年1月13日 · First, they look short, so the lumber will of limited use, depending on what you like to build. Second, if the tree was that close to a road you have to worry about buried metal and might have to buy a new blade for the sawyer. I have never worked with willow so I can't speak to the wood itself. If I saw those I think I would slow down but not ...

2024年3月16日 · Thanks. I'm making reproduction 1870's - 1910's baseball bats for home display. Commonly used woods for early era bats were northern white ash, pignut hickory, yellow birch, while less common woods included (black) willow and cherry. Willow was probably used because (white) willow was used for fashioning English cricket bats (and still is).

2011年5月27日 · Take Harry's word here. You're in Utah, and Harry (turnkey4099) is in SE WA, similar climates. Boogieman is in a much more humid climate, and willow is a very high moisture wood that takes a lot of drying, it will lose well over 1/2 it's weight between green and seasoned.
