credit do to you for making it .you must have done a bit of research on it.
how did you treat the wood to be able to bend it looks like heat treated
One thing for me i am ashamed to say is the idea of enjoying myself is a trip to the cruise terminal via comfort means . having waiter service 4 -5 coarse meals and high tea, watching west end style shows and listening to the music in the piano bars. ,but if you spread that rumour I will deny it out right lol

Steam bending. If I'm around the house, I'll throw the kettle on the stove and get the water as hot as I can get it and pour it on the stick. Preferably in a wind proof place where things can get humid. The hot water and steam makes sticks a limp noodle. If I'm in the woods, I use a coffee can and attempt to do the same.
I'm as at home in the woods as I am at my house. In fact, if possible, I'd probably live out there lol.

I used cedar. I might be wrong, but I like to use cedar for outdoor projects. It's a very hard wood and I think it doesn't rot as easily as other types of wood. It'll flake off but remains solid to the core.

willow is good for making baskets also hazel works well .Hazel traditionally used for making hurdles . one piece sticks with a crook type handle is after all only heated and bent into shape and onec cool it wont lose that shape if seasoned .But a lot of wood is bent for boatbuilding and furniture making
