Hi Steve,
I found a couple video’s that – while not showing wattle building – do show the twisting of greenwood to make a rope. In this case, a rope to make a swing for children. The video is a silent film that looks like it was filmed in Finland in 1938. You can find it on Youtube by searching for “With an Axe and Knife”. It’s a compilation video of different greenwood techniques without the use of power tools (or, for that matter, even a froe…) documented. Interesting stuff showing how to create an axe handle, shingles, a thin box, and even a plotka gun (a toy popper gun).
