I want to make a twig ladder... when I finally get around to making one - I will be sure to post...

How do you exactly start to build a twig ladder? What kind of woods do you use, and does it need to be reinforced with stronger wood? I am picturing rope like vines wrapped around twigs, if not bradded together. Help me visualize your idea.

Haven't made one yet.. I am just going off the picture on Sandi Reinke's website like below... but I will post when I actually tackle the project myself.

I think it would be fun to make a ladder out of twigs and metal. Lets say using galvanized pipe and similar elements. Does anyone have any ideas on how to further enhance a ladder made of twigs?

Hello,

I made a Kiva Ladder for my living room, (I have a Southwest theme.)from which I hang Native American blankets. It was very easy, this is what I did. While visiting my Dad in Utah, I found some beautiful birch branches which I took the bark off of, then I used smaller branches
for the steps on the lader. I used wood screws to connect all componants, and hid them with leather straps. You could actually climb this ladder if you were feeling brave, I very happy with the way it turned out!
