Striking and original slender boat shaped basket, ideal for holding nuts, fruit, pens, pencils, all the keys and things out of your pockets, or as a smartphone holder/ charging station.I try to make contrasts of colours within each basket to highlight the different shades of willow. If you would like all the bark to be similar colours please get in touch.
This design is a great way of using the smallest willows from my patch which would in a commercial setting be destined for the bonfire! But, it is like when you grow your own carrots- even the smallest is beautiful and must be used.
The willows are sweetly scented with different colours of willow bark, harvested by me and probably some willing helpers on a sunny day one February in the last few years.
Made using entirely organically frown Scottish willow from my patch in Lanarkshire, carries the Scottish Working Woods label.
