This season's crop is now sold out and/or used up. Sorry to disappoint potential customers.

All being well, the next harvest will take place in December, with new stock available in January 2011. As ever, pre-ordering is advisable.

 

Nothing to do with willow, but anyone keen on traditional countryside crafts may be interested in the following:

A Solitary Trade

The Art and Craft of Dry Stone Walling

by Robert Drake

As a craftsman, Robert Drake knows his trade inside out. He has a deep respect for his material and the long traditions of his craft. He is aware of the world about him, of a stillness and a solitude and a timelessness which few of us these days are able to experience. This is a beautiful and perceptive book. (Steve Matthews, Bookcase)

This would be the ideal book for attendees at dry stone walling courses, to reinforce what they have learned. They will find it invaluable. (Nick Aitken, Dry Stone Walling Association)
