Big Diamond Willow poles

This is the page for the really BIG Diamond Willow:

On this page you will see the largest Diamond Willow I ever found; see below.

Here are links to the other Diamond Willow sticks pages:

Once in awhile I am lucky enough to find a really nice, extra big diamond willow. Here are a few of the big ones I have. Shipping these babies is going to be a problem. If you want one of these for a lamp-post or something like that, your best bet is to come visit me and go through my collection.

You can use these for whatever your imagination tells you, e.g.

Large Diamond Willow



A *really* nice stick, or should I call it a post which could be great for a sign-post or something to hang flower pots on. It is dry, bark removed and diamonds scraped out. It is 7' long. The late Mr. Gerald Tanner is showing it off here.

This particular one has been sold. It went to Illinois via UPS at a cost of prox. US$31 shipping.

I have a lot more of these, which are not shown on my website.






Large Diamond Willow




We were really thrilled to have Jack and Inga come up all the way from New Jersey on Sept. 5, 2002, to pick up their large order of Rails.

Here are Jack, Marie and Inga, showing 3 more of my Big Ones plus a Totem Pole. Inga is holding the totem pole; it is a fire-killed pine and looks really neat. Hardly any charcoal left on it after 50+ years in the bush.

The lengths of these 4 poles, from left to right:

10' 3", 9' 1", 10' 4", 13'

Price, left to right: C$145, C$145, C$145, C$95










Large Diamond Willow




These are the largest diamonds I've ever seen; this clump of 3+ main trunks is huge; note the 30-30 Winchester carbine hanging on it. We found it in 2002 but left it after recording its exact location in my GPS.

In early winter, 2005, I cut this down. It was an awful job; it was not possible to get the ARGO All Terrain Vehicle close so we carried the chainsaw in on foot and carried it and the pieces out one load at a time for about 5 long trips back to the ARGO.

A truly AMAZING work of art.

More pictures of this below:










"Big ones" are dried; not sanded; SOME have been skinned; some not; diamonds have not been cleaned out as you can see.

It was a COLD day but the work was so tough that it did not take long to work up a sweat! Without the ARGO A.T.V. we never would have managed to get them out. Just dragging them to the Argo was a huge task.
