The Willow is maintained for the lifecycle of the tree, circling the trees with the hand and rubbing off buds .

The rounds are all hand split and then clefted. The willow is then wax-ended and left to dry

Once the clefts reach the required moisture content. Each cleft is graded based on looks, weight and tone.
