This idea is so intriguing! Living willow sculpture: http://www.simplywillow.co.uk/willow4/page3.html

I wonder how much it would cost in willow rods to do a living fence in our yard. At the least, a willow tunnel or gazebo would sure be neat for a couple of chairs...We just took down our sad old crabapple tree and have space for something like this. The bare spot centered in the view through the arch is where the crabapple stood. I've drawn in a rough shape where the "gazebo" could go. Our property line is just beyond the forsythia you see blooming in back there.
