How a "Diamond" is Created
Diamond Willow is not a species, but instead it is a condition. A fungus that attacks some willow species causes branches to die. A canker forms where the branch once lived, creating a colorful and sometimes concave diamond. The tree grows away from the fungus, sometimes creating superbly deformed diamonds.
You will receive the exact stick in the photos
Each piece is hand selected and harvested from just outside the historical logging town of McGrath, Minnesota and is unique and one of a kind
I do have a huge inventory of diamond willow of all sizes and thickness from twigs to logs. If your looking for something specific I can cut to length for almost any project, or if you need multiple sticks I have hundreds of sticks with only 2 or 3 nice diamonds. feel free to message me with any question you may have and I will be happy to try to help you as best I can.
There are absolutely NO RETURNS on these items Please examine pictures carefully and ask any questions you may have prior to buying. I cannot predict shape of the wood under the bark and since sometimes branches are rotted while still standing & its hard to predict condition, I am not an expert on carving or wood species in general but try to make sure wood is solid before I list so please, if you do get a stick that wont work because of condition contact me before leaving negative or even neutral feedback.
THANK YOU

HAVE A GREAT DAY
