[Woodcarver] woods

"The most popular wood I know is Basswood <grin>"

Any of you ever try willow?  We trimmed our weeping willows branches some years ago and I rescued them.  They carved with ease (green) and I experienced no cracking or splitting as the items dried.  The best part was that they were already round and I didn't have to do too much to carve "in the round".  Is there any difference between weeping willow and other types of willow?
