GUEST,Big Al Whittle Stripping the Willow (65* d) RE: Stripping the Willow 12 Dec 20


What had it to do with Bargain Hunt

Well.... in Bargain Hunt, there was this feature about a chap in the Somerset Levels who Stripped the bark stuff off Willow wands. Then he wove the wands into a basket. He was very tradional. Beard ...everything.

It wasn't mentioned in the programme, BUT you could see how the dance move go its name. With a skilled willow stripper the bark sort of divided and shot off into strips of two going off to left and right.

hope this explains
