... under the expert guidance of Frank Thimm we started last weekend, a willow arbor to braid. There is a (hopefully) live willow structure that we have harvested in the early morning on Frank's willow plantation in Holzhausen. Were chosen primarily 3-year rods, because Frank Thimm is of the opinion that we should incorporate from the beginning a certain height and static.
... Incidentally, it rained all day .... first you
it was digging a ditch: 60 - 80 cm deep and 30 inches wide for a length of about 17 meters, the future size of the circular arbor . A very unpleasant job ... Water from above, mud from the bottom ... Once this was done, we have almost 90 Willow rods sharpened at first and then built an input of about 10 two-year tail. From this, we have worked sticking around once and braiding. Here we are weggekracht total of 10 rods, because the interlacing of rods were not equally strong. With a diameter of 2-3 cm had the rods already reached a thickness that does not make it so easy to braid relatively small diamonds .... Frank said that it is very important is about the same strong rods to intertwine with each other ... is that of the thin breaks usually because of pressure and counter pressure are not equal ... it is: the weak are to ... and breaks ... Bad thing is when that happens, if one is already more advanced. Then either remains difficult die gebrochene Ruten rauszuflechten oder zu schneiden und eine frische Rute in das unter starker Spannung stehende Geflecht einzuweben; oder aber und für die Variante habe ich mich in einigen Fällen entschieden; man lässt die gebrochene Rute drinnen und flechtet junge Ruten nach...Der Morgen flog nur so dahin und auch der Nachmittag war nach einem oppulenten Mittagsmahl ratzefatze wechgeflochten...
Nachdem wir den Umfang bis Kopfhöhe einmal aufgestellt und verflochten hatten galt es eigentlich das Dach anzugehen ...

wir mussten dann aber aufgeben weiterzuarbeiten und das Dach durchzuflechten, weil uns die Dunkelheit die nach ca 7 Stunden Bauzeit über uns hereinbrach, davon abhielt.
Für have next weekend, Frank & Frank agreed again to complete the work for the time being ... completed, it will indeed by growth and maintenance ...
Well ... a start has at least made .... but I think I am still pretty much try experimenting with the willow ...
I've bought a few books that have me hooked ... Weidenbaubücher
.... and at some point I will create even a fat tree house ... :-).... but this is again a completely different topic ...
