So I took this cutting of a willow (salix cinerea) last summer...

Pretty bland material to work with, but still I decided to make a raft out of it. Today I removed all the dead wood, choose some new trunks and wire them.

Stumbled upon a pretty nasty surprise along the way...

The result for now...

I messed up the stump in the front, cut away to much wood...

I'm probably going to let it grow for another year and then cut it back.
