Willow Weaving Techniques | Three Rod Wale

The video explains the 3 Rod Wale weaving technique. To start, lay the required number of rods in adjoining spaces on the basket sides. Then, take the left‑hand rod, carry it over the others, behind the stake against the front of which the right‑hand rod lies, and bring it out to the front again. Repeat this stroke throughout the wale, always using the left‑hand rod. When the rod butts are reached, insert new butts close alongside the old ones, leaving the old ones on the outside and the new ones on the inside of the work.
