I have been reading the past posts about turning willow and they seem to be kind of conflicting. Some people say that willow is a dream to turn and therefore, one should grab all of it that they can. Others say that it is a very difficult wood to turn (stringy when green, large space between growth rings, plain, and has a high tendency to crack). What do you guys think? A huge willow has come down (not sure if it is weeping willow or black willow) and I can have as much as I want. Is it worth it to get this wood or should I continue turning oak, maple, and beech?
