Main strong straight stems selected and inserted to form the basis of the dome shape.
To start supporting and joining together, willow is woven around the bottom to create the structure. A couple of additional pegs for support.
Once the bottom is complete then the weaving takes place half way up to allow the structure to become a little more rigid before the top is tied in.
I dont think I will get any commissions of this but I developed my own way of tying in the woven willow using smaller pieces of willow - mainly because, like a numpty, I had left my string at home!
After this part was completed I did do a mad dash back to get the string so I could tie in the tops.
