Did you take any preperations before you carved it ?
Or did you cut it then get stuck in ?

hi, 10/10 mate after all your hard work do you worry that the wood will split/crack? or is willow very stable? what type of knives did you use. thanks for your time.carl

Thanks, I cut the wood at work and just started carving it that night, the wood was worked green over a few days, to keep it from drying it was kept in a bag with the shavings.

Willow is good to work and as long as it doesn't dry out too fast its wont, or shouldn't split.

The knife I use is a one that I made, the blade is a Lauri drop point and the handle is mountain ash.
