Diamond Willow

Hi,
Anyone know where there's a good mature stand of diamond willow so I can cut 4 LARGE pieces to make as bed posts? Can't seem to find any around Red Deer, they are all small. Went back to one spot but it got tore up and destroyed.

Thanks for the page, but I'm still looking for a nice grove. I already know where to find diamond willow for smaller pieces, but looking for BIG ones for thick bed posts. We had our eye on this one spot, but when we returned the following year it had been burned and hacked up, wish you could have seen the quality of these trees, absolutely gorgeous wood with large twisty diamonds, thick as a mans leg. sigh.......
