Going after an unsightly willow in the cabin yard. Homage to our good friend @123maxbars  ;) :)

Was it willow we was taught to make whistles in the spring time where the bark slips easily over the stem wood where you cut the notches/canals for air flow? Seems to me something like that in 'Boys Life' magazine. ;D

We used Persimmon to make whistles.

   We used river cane for whistles. Already hollow. Elderberry should work well too.

Jeff,

  You must not have many beavers nearby. They would be glad to have that willow. Willow seems to be the preferred beaver chow.

Roy Underhill on his show back in the day made his whistle's from willow, and as I recall he said they would only work until the bark would dry out.
Under bark there's boards and beams, somewhere in between.
Cuttin' while its green, through a steady sawdust stream.
I'm chasing the sawdust dream.
