No, it is not very good firewood. It's actually a softwood, like spruce, as opposed to a hardwood, like oak or maple - so it doesn't burn very cleanly. Not only will you probably see more smoke with willow (and more creosote build-up), but the amount of heat it produces is significantly low. Hope that helps!
the weeping willow benefits mankind because it is used to make aspirin
it is a tree. They get the name because their branches make them look sad/crying
Artists' sketching charcoal and gunpowder is often made by the wood from the weeping willow. Also, it is the most common type of wood to make artificial limbs.
Weeping trees are named for their drooping branches, which give them a "weeping" appearance. This characteristic is due to the branches' growth pattern and can make these trees look like they are shedding tears.
yeah

The willow tree leaves do work just as good as the bark to make Aspirin. The leaves and bark are often combined to make medicine.
seems like it might make good tinder
Weeping willow trees are not necessarily more prone to lightning strikes than other types of trees. However, their tall, slender branches and high moisture content may make them slightly more susceptible to damage from lightning strikes. It's always a good idea to avoid seeking shelter under a tree during a thunderstorm.
I know a couple of things that weeping willows are used for, or any other willow for that matter! 1. The twigs are very flexible. They are great for making baskets. 2. You can make an organic root stimulator by making a tea from the twigs. 3. That tea also makes a pretty good purple dye. 4. Some Native Americans use the limbs as structural members of their sweat lodges. 5. They can make decent landscape trees. They grow fast. But don't plant any where near water lines! Plant them atleast 30' away from the house or side walks. They have shallow roots, thus they will disturb the foundation.
Yes. It was used for Firewood, Medicine, and Paper.
YouTube would be a good place to find a how to video to make a firewood rack. Your local library would likely have videos on furniture making as well.
