I'd imagine so, but it would, I think, be a long term project before
you could actually sit on it.  Willows grow fast slender stems, but
it takes quite a few years for the older stems to get thick - at
least the one I used to grow - the black pussy willow whose bot. name
is something I cannot spell without going to look it up:-)
