Willow Backing ???

Never tried it myself. It bends very well, but i dont think it has much tensile strength, and it doesnt seem very dense. Its a lot of work to take a chance on a new type of backing, but if you have plenty of time and wood, give it a go and let us know how you got on :)

Not that I've heard.
It's very plentiful and straight so worth a go, but backing what wood?
Given the choice between Willow and Hazel, both plentiful, fast growing straight and relatively knot free. I'd put my money on Hazel...
