Howdy. I have use willow myself it works very well actually one of the few I prefer seasoned. Have done it green the stuff spits water at ya. Poplar is supposed to be a fine wood to. Willow while nice it is softer so more care for it but it's a joy to work

Thanks for the advice, everything else in the area is either eucalypts which split like nothing else or acacias which are harder than iron, so i'll have a crack at willow i think!
Do make sure to take pics
