Musgrove Willows’ Buff Willow is natural barked willow that is boiled for several hours. The tannins in the bark are released to create a lovely toffee color once the bark is stripped from the rod.
Key characteristics
Natural, bark-stripped willow with a toffee color.
Strength and flexibility suitable for baskets, sculptural weaving, furniture accents, and craft projects.
Because the bark is stripped during the Buff process, these rods absorb water and rehydrate at a different rate than standard brown willow. See our soaking guide for more information.
Packaging and sizing
Sold in 2 lb bundles.
4ft is about 200-220 rods
5ft is about 150-160 rods
6 ft is about 80-90 rods
Lengths measured by the foot, with typical tolerances:
4 ft: rods range between 3–4 feet
5 ft: rods range between 4–5 feet
6 ft: rods range between 5–6 feet
Care and storage
Store in a cool, dry place
