In willow work, waling is primarily used to to weave waling bands, which are short segments of weave, designed to shape, lock or secure the work.
Aside from this, waling is used to weave a foot for the basket, and is rarely used for anything else.
Cane workers are likely to use it for bases, entire baskets, or entire sections within a basket, many times while creating intricate color patterns - a topic I will also teach here, in lesson 6.
Aside from all that was mentioned above, I will also make a lesson specifically about waling in square baskets, and another one - examining color patterns and additional waling applications.

In willow work, waling is mainly used to weave waling bands, which are short, strong segments of weave, that help shape, lock and secure the work.
In this lesson I teach the basic and most commonly used types of waling bands.
