It's getting to be spring again and the sap is running or will be shortly here.

When I was a kid about as old as my youngest (ten) an oldtimer made me a willow whistle. It's possible at this time of year because you can slip the bark off the wood when the sap has started to move.

Does anyone have any practical experience making this type of whistle? I know it's not likely but the on-line sources I've come up with leave me with some questions.

I'd really like to make one with my youngest in tow if she'll come..

Please don't beat me up too badly for such a whacked topic... hehh :D
Cheers! Ian.

Here ya go...

Thanks Big guy. I had seen this. The questions that remain are in regards to when the best time and indicators are for the bark to be just right.

I have had a couple of quarrels with the bark on these things.. heh
Cheers! Ian.

How did you do that attachment thing where it counts howmany times it has been downloaded

Garry.. how's it hangin'?

I don't see the images count on how often it's been downloaded. I simply used the reply function then "browsed" to point to the image. The count should be a board feature that the admins can turn on or off or something along those lines. That isn't a feature I'd have control over. ;)

Cheers! Ian.
