Handicrafts and specialty woods are frequently used by artisans. For example, “basket” or “Streamco” willow can be used to stabilize a streamside, as well as for rustic furniture. Smooth sumac, diamond willow, hickory and aspen seedlings can be used to create beautiful walking sticks. Cottonwood bark, butternut, basswood, figured walnut and catalpa are favorites among wood carvers.
