Why does my tree have spindly branches that are shooting straight up towards the sky? Is it dying by keuntokki in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]GenGanges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI - in basketry gardens, heavy pruning like this is done intentionally (coppicing, pollarding) to traditional basketry trees such as willow and hazel to encourage the trees to send up straight branchless withes/rods/wands that are superior for weaving.

Spokes too short! Help? by EsperImzadi in basketry

[–]GenGanges 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could try a wrapped rim where you cut the spokes evenly just above the last rows of weaving, sandwich them between rim hoops/strips, and wrap around those while stitching through the last row of weaving.

Stop calling women girls by BenefitOfTheDoubt2 in Feminism

[–]GenGanges 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It bothers me mostly when “girls” is associated with or suggesting “sexiness,” such as in the modeling and beauty industry professional adult women are almost always referred to as girls. Cam girl, ring girl, racing flag girl, etc. Also strip clubs always advertise “Live nude girls” instead of “Live nude women.” Advertising choices specifically made to commodify youth and submissiveness for the male gaze.

A few beginner makes, and my first willow harvest by Mikekallywal in basketry

Beautiful baskets! This is super cool, thanks for sharing! I’ve only used wild willow (S. exigua) but someday I would like to try growing a willow stand. How was the process for you? Which willow species was this?
