hey toni, to me, your material looks more like river cane than young bamboo shoots. Am I correct in my observation? The black and white view of your vid could be impeding my judgment, but thats what it looks like to me. I still like your technique. Thanks for making the vid

@Caveman0713 probably Phyllostachys aurea

Thanks for showing Toni. About how long did it take you to produce the basket? Pat

[bygonetoni]

I do not actually remember, probably 4 or 5hrs.

4:45-4:47 how did you attach the verticle bits? i know how to do everything but that part.

[bygonetoni]

With respect, I do not have time for a lesson. It is my intention not to produce instructional videos, but videos that inspire. Good luck with your projects.

[captaincoolness55]

Excellent. I have never seen this done with bamboo before. Great Idea as I have lots in the garden that needs cutting down.

P.s. Will you make any of your videos in colour.

[bygonetoni]

Thanks for your comment. I probably wont make videos in colour as I prefer black and white.

Great stuff! Do you have to dry the willow in any way, or can you use it straight away?

 It's an underated material I think.

[bygonetoni]

Thanks for your comment. Willow, if dried, should always be soaked and mellowed before use. The bamboo I used straight away.
