Also whether your finished piece is going to be decorative or practical in its finished incarnation Total Posts: | Joined: Unregistered | IP Logged DavidB New Member                        Posted on: Jul 22, 2005 - 7:27am Hi Guys, great to meet you. Nessie: I find Willow easier to use but this maybe because I only have limited movement in the first and second fingers of my left hand. BB: thanks for the offer - where are you from?

I grow my own and would be happy to provide advice on how you could do the same.
