Yes, depending on how thickly and soundly it is made. It was used in Treehenge, and in some of the reconstructions.
You need long, two year old, stems. They're just twisted and plyed. I'm told that they can be plaited too though.
First years are too soft, third years are too brittle and the bark's flakey.
